History

It was founded in 2003 by Igor Golembiovsky, a journalist who had left Novye Izvestiya after being dismissed by the post of editor;[1] Golembiovsky said his firing was due to political reasons, because of his opposition to Vladimir Putin's government.[2] In the beginning of the newspaper, journalists, who had left Novye Izvestiya a few months earlier, participated. Igor Golembiovsky, Otto Lacis, Sergey Agafonov, Elena Yampolskaya, Zoya Svetova,[3] Alina Rebel and others were authors.[4] "Publishing House Kh. H. S. PUBLISHING HOUSE" under the direction of Igor Yakovenko, then Secretary of the Union of Journalists of Russia, was the newspaper’s publisher.[5][6]

The newspaper shut down in April 2005 for financial reasons. Chief editor Golembiovsky and the entire staff were dismissed.[5] On May 30, 2005, the newspaper resumed work with Sergey Frolov as new chief editor. His new concept was to create a newspaper of national interests.[7]

In 2013 it launched its online version on its homepage ruscur.ru. In 2017 Russkiy Kurier ceased print edition and became an online-only publication.[8][9]
