History

In 2000, RBC launched a free webmail and hosting project, one of the largest projects of its kind in Russia.

In 2002, RBC conducted the first Russian IPO on domestic exchanges, and the company became the fastest growing Russian company, according to the Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu 2002 European Technology Fast 500 rating list.

In 2003, RBC launched RBC TV, the first and the only business channel in Russia.

In April 2016, searches were conducted at the ONEKSIM Group investment fund, controlling shareholder of the RBC Group, due to the recent publications about Vladimir Putin's daughter Katerina Tikhonova and her husband, Russian oligarch Kirill Shamalov,[3] as well as about the Panama Papers.[4] RBC was recognized in Russia for investigative journalism, including reports on corruption and abuse of power[5] which led to forced change of leadership, including the editor-in-chief Yelizaveta Osetinskaya, in May 2016.[6]
