Julia Nawalnaja Launches ‘Zukunft Russlands’ Channel to Bypass Kremlin Censorship

Operating from Paris with RSF partnership, the broadcaster aims to deliver uncensored opposition content directly into Russian homes.

Die Witwe des in russischer Haft gestorbenen Oppositionellen Alexej Nawalny hat für Mittwoch den Start eines neuen Fernsehsenders für die Pressefreiheit angekündigt: Am Geburtstag von Nawalny wird der Sender "Zukunft Russlands" erstmals ausgestrahlt.

Overview

  • The station began broadcasting on June 4, Alexei Nawalny’s birthday, to offer an alternative to state-controlled media.
  • Julia Nawalnaja partnered with Reporter ohne Grenzen to produce exile-made programs transmitted via satellite.
  • It targets roughly 4.5 million households across Russia and about 800,000 in occupied Ukrainian regions.
  • Nawalnaja said the initiative responds to what she calls 'almost complete censorship' after Kremlin blocks of her YouTube outreach.
  • The project continues the legacy of Alexei Nawalny, who died under unclear circumstances in February 2024 after a 19-year 'extremism' sentence.
