Channel One
Pervyi Kanal (Channel One) is one of Russia's leading federal television channels, broadcasting from Moscow. It was founded in 1995 on the basis of the Soviet Central Television's First Programme and is considered the successor to the USSR's Channel One. A controlling stake is held by the state through VGTRK, with a significant share belonging to structures linked to state-connected financial groups. The channel has long functioned as a principal propaganda outlet of the Kremlin, particularly since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and has been sanctioned by several Western countries and by Ukraine.
