History
Russia Beyond The Headlines was launched in 2007 by the Rossiyskaya Gazeta, a newspaper published by the government of Russia. The first publisher of the project was the deputy CEO of Rossiyskaya Gazeta Eugene Abov.{{cite news|title= Абов Евгений Владимирович "Биография"|url= https://whoiswhopersona.info/archives/140803|date= 2019-03-25|access-date= 2019-03-25|archive-date= 8 August 2020|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20200808093528/https://whoiswhopersona.info/archives/140803|url-status= live}}
On 9 January 2016, RBTH became part of TV-Novosti whilst retaining its own distinct brand. In 2017, the project dropped all printed versions.{{cite news|title= Russia Beyond The Headlines was handed over by the managing RT TV channel of the company|url= https://www.rbc.ru/technology_and_media/09/01/2017/587399da9a7947c7cccd70f3|date= 2017-01-09|access-date= 2018-05-10|archive-date= 6 August 2020|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20200806215455/https://www.rbc.ru/technology_and_media/09/01/2017/587399da9a7947c7cccd70f3|url-status= live}}
On 5 September 2017, RBTH dropped the last two words of its full name, becoming Russia Beyond. The look and feel of the English edition was also refreshed substantially, removing all things regarded as distracting on screen when reading a story or watching a video.{{cite news|author= |title= Welcome to Russia Beyond's new website!|url= https://www.rbth.com/arts/326088-welcome-to-russia-beyond-website|website= Russia Beyond|location= |date= 2017-09-05|access-date= 2017-09-23|archive-date= 23 April 2023|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20230423150927/https://www.rbth.com/arts/326088-welcome-to-russia-beyond-website|url-status= live}}
After using a stylized R as the logo for nine years, Russia Beyond introduced a brand new one on 20 February 2023,.{{cite news|title=Russia Beyond gets a fresh look with new logo|url=https://www.rbth.com/lifestyle/335914-russia-beyond-new-logo|website=Russia Beyond|date=2023-02-20|access-date=2023-04-24|archive-date=24 April 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230424143802/https://www.rbth.com/lifestyle/335914-russia-beyond-new-logo|url-status=live}}
Reception
In 2007 and 2014, former Slate journalist Jack Shafer and The Guardian commentator Roy Greenslade respectively accused Russia Beyond of being propaganda.{{Cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/media/greenslade/2014/jul/29/dailytelegraph-russia|title=Telegraph to continue publishing Russian propaganda supplement|last=Greenslade|first=Roy|date=2014-07-29|work=The Guardian|access-date=2017-04-13|language=en-GB|issn=0261-3077|archive-date=9 October 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201009053441/https://www.theguardian.com/media/greenslade/2014/jul/29/dailytelegraph-russia|url-status=live}}{{cite news |last=Shafer |first=Jack |url=https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2007/08/the-russians-drop-a-propaganda-bomb-with-their-washington-post-ad-supplement.html |title=Hail to the Return of Motherland-Protecting Propaganda! |work=Slate |publisher=The Slate Group |date=2007-08-30 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190406125206/https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2007/08/the-russians-drop-a-propaganda-bomb-with-their-washington-post-ad-supplement.html |archive-date=2019-04-06 |access-date=2019-04-06 }}{{cite news |last= K.
