Who we are

BBC News Russian is the team of dedicated BBC journalists based in London and across the world, covering news and current affairs for Russian-speakers everywhere. We’ve been doing it since 1946 - on radio, and now online.

Often we get asked if our original stories could be accessed in English (Google-translate doesn’t count). So, we started this publication on Substack, to deliver the best of our journalism to you in English.

Why subscribe

You will get the best of BBC Russian stories straight into your mailbox. And it is free! About twice a week we choose a story, get it translated and subbed, and publish on Substack. All subscribers get them into their inbox, and never miss an update.

We hope you will join our readers around the world!
