Navalny widow, media watchdog to launch TV channel
- Yulia Navalnaya and Reporters Without Borders are launching a new TV channel called Future of Russia on June 4, 2025, broadcasting across Russia via satellite.
- The channel launch responds to the 2022 Kremlin crackdown, which banned independent media, outlawed dissent, and forced critics like Navalny's team into exile.
- Future of Russia will air content produced by Navalny's exiled team for YouTube channels like Popular Politics and Navalny Live, with plans to add exclusive material.
- Project director Jim Phillipoff emphasized the critical need for diverse perspectives in Russia due to the lack of unbiased news sources, and highlighted their collaboration with Eutelsat, the French satellite company supporting the initiative.
- The channel aims to preserve Navalny's legacy and promote free speech, reaching 4.5 million households in Russia despite Kremlin censorship and repression.
