In October 1930, the first issue of “Moskovskie Novosti” (Moscow News) in English was published. The newspaper told expats and foreign audiences about the young Soviet state. In October 2020, the publication with almost a century of history was relaunched in a new format as a modern online media under the brand Moscow Daily News.

The new editorial focus remains on Moscow, Russia, and abroad. We monitor domestic and foreign policy, cultural context and public opinion, analyze economic events, record details — continuing to write the history of the legendary media in a completely different world.

The editorial office of “Moskovskie Novosti” brought together experienced news editors, columnists, and media experts.

Moskovskie Novosti

“Moskovskie Novosti” (Moscow News) was a prominent Soviet and later Russian newspaper, founded in 1930 as an English-language publication to present a positive image of the USSR to foreign audiences. It gained significant influence during the late 1980s under editor Yegor Yakovlev, becoming a flagship for Mikhail Gorbachev’s policies of glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring), before ceasing print publication in 2014.

Moscow News

“Moscow News” was a long-running English-language newspaper in Russia, originally founded in 1930 as a propaganda outlet for the Soviet government to present a curated view of life in the USSR to foreign audiences. After the Soviet Union’s collapse, it was briefly privatized and became a symbol of the new press freedoms in the 1990s before eventually ceasing publication in 2014.

Moscow Daily News

The **Moscow Daily News** (1930–1938) was the first English-language daily newspaper published in the Soviet Union. It was initially edited by American journalist Anna Louise Strong and aimed to promote a positive image of the USSR to an international audience. Its history reflects the Soviet Union’s early efforts at foreign propaganda and cultural outreach during the 1930s.
