Moskowskije Novosti ( Russian Московские новости , German: Moskauer Nachrichten) was a Russian weekly newspaper that was offered in Russian and - as Moscow News - in eleven other languages (including English and German) and most recently in 140 countries (as of 1990). At various times it acted as an organ of the All- Union Society for Foreign Cultural Relations , the Novosti Press Agency and the Union of the Soviet Society for Friendship with Foreign Peoples . Since 2008 it has been published again in English and Arabic under the leadership of the RIA Novosti news agency . A new Russian edition as a daily newspaper started in 2011 and ended in the print edition in 2014, while an online editorial team continues to operate.
Moskovsky Novosti
Before the Olympic Games in Moscow in 1980 , the Politburo of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) decided to have the newspaper published in Russian as well. The first edition in Russian was published on July 6, 1980 under the editor-in-chief Nikolai Efimov. In 1986 Yegor Jakowlew became editor-in-chief and the Moskowskije Novosti became an important forum for Mikhail Gorbachev's policy of glasnost . The perestroika era also marked the newspaper's economic climax. By a new press law of August 1, 1990, the Moskowskije Novosti (MN) separated from the Novosti press agency and declared itself independent. During the August coup in Moscow in 1991, the newspaper was banned for three days. After Yakovlev von Gorbachev was appointed head of state television and radio after the coup, the newspaper's commentator and former dissident Len Karpinski (1929 † June 14, 1995) was appointed editor-in-chief on his recommendation at the end of August 1991. From autumn 1991 the Moskowskije Novosti also cooperated with the opinion research institute WZIOM , which carried out surveys on political and social problems.
From 1995 Wiktor Loschak took over the editor-in-chief until 2003 and since then the circulation figures have decreased and it was questionable whether the newspaper actually reached a circulation of 100,000 copies, as claimed.
In September 2003 the Open Russia Foundation , which is related to the oil magnate Mikhail Khodorkovsky , took over the newspaper. Khodorkovsky wanted to expand the readership of the Moscow liberal intelligentsia to broader strata and probably also offer the liberal opposition parties the Union of Right Forces and Yabloko a platform in the upcoming presidential election campaign.
The newspaper was briefly closed in October 2003 in order to resume operations in November in a new editorial building and with a new editor-in-chief. Since Khodorkovsky had only bought the name of the newspaper and not the buildings, the editorial staff had to move from Pushkin Square in central Moscow to the outskirts. The new editor-in-chief was the television journalist Yevgeny Kisselev, known for his critical stance towards Vladimir Putin .
With Khodorkovsky's decline, a new era dawned for Moskovsky Novosti as well. The paper quickly changed hands: it moved from Menatep's main shareholder Leonid Newslin to the Ukrainian media magnate Vladimir Rabinovich. In October 2005, billionaire Arcadi Gaydamak bought the newspaper; According to media information, he is said to have paid $ 3 million for it. Under Gaydamak and the appointed editor-in-chief Vitaly Tretyakov, the paper is supposed to follow a pro-government line, according to Gaydamak's own statements. The chairman of the Glasnost Foundation Alexei Simonov said that by purchasing the newspaper, the entrepreneur had put on a "loyalty show" to the government, which was motivated by his business interests. In 2005, a circulation of 63,700 copies was achieved.
On January 1, 2008, the publication of the paper under the leadership of "United Media" was discontinued. The general manager of the management company, Daniil Kupssin, cited economic reasons as the reason for this step. The newspaper never made a profit. The deputy editor-in-chief Alexei Titow explained, however, that a relaunch as the city weekly was being worked on. The last issue No. 50/2007 was published on December 21, 2007.
On October 4, 2010, Moscow News and the RIA Novosti news agency celebrated its 80th anniversary with a gala in the GUM department store on Red Square in Moscow.
After a three-year break, the Moskowskije Novosti appeared again in Russian at the beginning of 2011 as a daily newspaper under the leadership of the RIA Novosti news agency and the Vemja publishing house with its editor-in-chief Vladimir Gurevich based on the Vemja Novostei newspaper, which had been published since 2000 and was discontinued in 2010 .
When the RIA news agency was incorporated in Rossiya Sevodnja , the paper version was discontinued in 2014. A discontinuation of the website was not announced.

The first edition of the newspaper appeared in English on October 5, 1930, and was founded by the American journalist and author Anna Louise Strong . It was designed as a Soviet propaganda font for foreigners, including Americans who were involved in construction projects in the Soviet Union. In 1949 the Moscow News was discontinued and its editor-in-chief Mikhail Markowitsch Borodin was brought to a court for " cosmopolitanism " at the instigation of the "European Anti-Fascist Committee" and later interned in a gulag in Siberia as an "enemy of the Soviet Union" , where he died in 1952. After the end of Stalinism , the newspaper was rehabilitated under party leader Nikita Sergejewitsch Khrushchev and the newspaper resumed its operations in 1955 and published in the Soviet Union and from 1992 in Russia until the end of 2007. The RIA Novosti news agency had the brand name "The Moscow News" in 2007 receive.
From 2008 the English-language edition “The Moscow News” was republished under the editor-in-chief Robert Bridge, which has been under the leadership of the British journalist and editor-in-chief Timm Wall since February 2009.
According to the market and opinion research institute TNS Gallup Media , the English-language edition “The Moscow News” reached around 79,500 readers with a circulation of 45,000.

Moscow News / Moscow News
After the Second World War there were temporary editions in German, but these were then discontinued.
From April 1988 onwards, a special Federal German edition appeared every month for five years, which wanted to be understood as new, generally reform-oriented and as a "new tenant in the house of Europe". Nevertheless, she remained caught up in the internal conflicts, especially in the Caucasus region and the wars over Nagorno-Karabakh. In contrast, the reorganization of Germany and Europe in general took up comparatively little space.
It appeared, initially as a “German” then a “German-language edition” of a “Soviet”, since the beginning of 1992 “Independent Newspaper from Moscow”, and was available as a paid, not as a subscription newspaper, such as “ Wostok ”, at a price of 1 , 50 DM , most recently 3.00 DM. The publication was made possible by the cooperation of the publisher "Moskowskije Nowosti / Moscow News" with a working group of German press and publishing houses: Gruner + Jahr , M. DuMont Schauberg (Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger) , Heinen-Verlag , (Kölnische Rundschau) and the Bonner newspaper printing and publishing house (Bonner General-Anzeiger) . The leading position was with DuMont, advertising business with Gruner + Jahr, printing with the Heinen publishing subsidiary “Kölnische Verlagsdruckerei GmbH”, sales with “Deutsche Pressevertrieb, Buch-Hansa” in Hamburg.
