The New Times (Russia)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The New Times, or Novoye Vremya (Russian: Новое Время), is a Russian language magazine in Russia established in 1943 in the Soviet Union. It is a small, liberal, independent Russian weekly news magazine, publishing for Russia and Armenia. During the Soviet times it followed the official line.

It should not be confused with an eponymous, highly influential newspaper that was published in the Russian Empire by Alexey Suvorin. Vasily Rozanov was its most famous journalist.

The New Times is unusual in being fully independent of the State. In contemporary Russia, almost all other mass media (television, newspapers, etc) are either directly or indirectly controlled by the State[citation needed].

The magazine contains articles on politics, economics, social life and journalist investigations. Additionally, a number of columnists provide the readers with their opinions regarding recent news and events.
