Vzglyad (newspaper)

Vzglyad (Russian: Взгляд, IPA: [ˈvzɡlʲat] (listen)) is a Russian online newspaper, which was produced by Konstantin Rykov.

History

In July 2005 “Delovaya Gazeta Vzglyad” established the free online newspaper Vzglyad. Konstantin Rykov launched Vzglyad as competition to Kommersant and Vedomosti.[1][2]

The site started working on May 23, 2005,[3] with the first paper edition "Vzglyada.ru" being published in November 2006. Several journalists, including Maxim Kononenko, Vladimir Mamontov and Tina Kandelaki, wrote columns for Vzglyad.[1]

In 2013, Alexander Shmelev, the former editor-in-chief of the newspaper (2007-2008), stated that after the parliamentary and presidential elections of 2007 and 2008, "it was then that we found ourselves at the forefront of this campaign, and it was through us that the toughest propaganda materials passed, as a result of which the word "Vzglyad" itself became negative in blogs and social networks"[4] and that the work of the site was supervised at monthly intervals by Rykov and then deputy head of the internal policy department of the Russian President Alexei Chesnakov.[5]

Since 2013 the owner of the publication has been the Institute for Socio-Economic and Political Studies (ISEPI), headed by former deputy head of the internal policy department of the presidential administration Dmitri Badovsky. Since August 17, 2017, the publication has been under the control of the "Expert Institute for Social Research," which is associated with the Russian Presidential Administration headed by Anton Vaino.[6]

At the same time, Aleksei Sharavskyi, who had been heading the publication for ten years, was replaced by Konstantin Kondrashin as the editor-in-chief of the publication. In March 2020, Vzglyad published an article by journalist and political analyst Alexander Malkevich accusing Wikipedia editorial staff of the information war against Russia. As evidence, the political scientist pointed out that in Wikipedia, under the pretext of vandalism, the article "Sale of the administration of Russian-speaking Wikipedia", created by the pro-government project "Anti-Propaganda" was removed.[7]
