History
[edit]1990s
[edit]In 1997, the channel was founded as NTV International by Vladimir Gusinsky, where it would serve as the "international, license-cleared version" of the NTV channel.[6] Its main audiences were the Russian-speaking diasporas of Israel, the United States, and Europe.[7]
RTVI was owned by Russian businessman Ruslan Sokolov who bought the channel from Gusinsky in 2012. A group of Israeli private investors purchased RTVI International channel in 2017. In October 2019, the Armenia-born American Mikayel Israyelyan was named the new owner of RTVI.[4]
2000s - Ownership Changes
[edit]In the early 2000s Kiselev sold a majority stake in the network to a group of Russian and foreign investors. The change brought about shifts in editorial direction and programming.[citation needed]
