MTV Russia is a Russian language free-to-air service seen in 22 million households in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Omsk, Voronezh, Novosibirsk and Ekaterinburg, among other cities. Through a multi-year licensing agreement with BIZ Enterprises, MTV Russia became the first western television network customised specifically for Russian youth. In January 2000, MTV Networks International acquired an equity position in MTV Russia.

Targeting 14-34 year olds, the advertiser-supported network features a mixture of music videos from Russian and international artists programmed locally from its Moscow production base. MTV Russia VJs cover the Russian music scene and introduce locally relevant programming that reflects MTV's unpredictable, irreverent style.
