Moscow, Russia — The world of journalism witnesses a historic revival as The Times of Russia (TTOR) returns to the global media stage, re-establishing itself as one of the most trusted voices from Russia to the world. Once a small yet powerful press that operated before 1941, The Times of Russia was known for its unwavering loyalty to the Russian nation, its language, traditions, and values.
After ceasing its print operations in 1944, the publication remained silent for decades. However, in 2018, a new digital portal of The Times of Russia marked a fresh beginning, symbolizing the rebirth of this historic institution for the digital age. Now, under the prestigious TTOR Group, it has evolved into a modern global English-language daily media house, carrying forward the powerful motto: “Where Hearts and Thoughts Unite.”
A Legacy Rooted in Culture and Patriotism
Founded in the pre-war years, The Times of Russia began as a humble press celebrating the essence of Russian civilization. Its pages carried stories of Russian art, literature, folklore, spirituality, and the lives of ordinary citizens. It was never just a newspaper—it was a cultural mission, reflecting a Russia that stood resilient through change, proud of its heritage and inspired by its people. Even in the most challenging times of the 20th century, it remained a symbol of faith, strength, and unity.
Today, as it re-emerges under the TTOR Group, that same spirit endures. The revival is not merely about news; it’s about reviving a mission—to present Russia’s authentic story to the world, told with honesty, intellect, and heart.
A Modern Global Voice
The new Times of Russia enters the international media arena with a clear vision—to be a bridge between Russia and the world. While deeply rooted in national values, TTOR speaks the universal language of journalism: truth, transparency, and connection.
With a dynamic team of journalists, analysts, and media professionals, TTOR delivers 24-hour global coverage on international affairs, politics, culture, economy, science, and innovation. In a time when global narratives are often polarized, The Times of Russia strives to restore balance through factual reporting, in-depth analysis, and cultural diplomacy—giving readers a fair and thoughtful perspective of Russia and the world.
Where Hearts and Thoughts Unite
The publication’s motto, “Where Hearts and Thoughts Unite,” perfectly reflects its vision of bridging divides through understanding. Beyond politics and ideology, it stands for unity through empathy, knowledge, and truth. Every article and editorial is crafted not only to inform but also to connect with the emotional and intellectual depth of its readers.
Through this approach, TTOR aims to be more than a news outlet—it will serve as a cultural bridge, promoting cooperation and mutual respect among nations. Its editorial content will spotlight global stories of innovation, compassion, and peace—proving that despite differences, humanity is bound by shared values.
Commitment to Ethical Journalism
The TTOR Group emphasizes that ethical journalism remains the cornerstone of the revival. The organization follows strict editorial standards ensuring accuracy, credibility, and accountability. TTOR believes journalism should empower societies by presenting verified facts and amplifying constructive voices.
Embracing the new digital age, TTOR integrates AI-driven analytics, digital storytelling, and multilingual platforms, ensuring readers from Moscow to New York, Dubai to Delhi, can access quality journalism that educates, inspires, and connects.
A Russian Media House with a Global Vision
While proudly representing Russia’s identity, The Times of Russia is positioned as a global media house. Its coverage will span continents, with correspondents from Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and the Americas.
It will highlight positive developments within Russia—its innovations in science, culture, arts, and diplomacy—countering stereotypes and promoting an authentic understanding of the Russian spirit: creative, resilient, and ever-evolving.
The Future of TTOR
Looking ahead, TTOR plans to establish digital editions, television collaborations, podcasts, and multimedia journalism centers, ensuring its voice resonates across generations. Its vision includes nurturing young journalists, forming global partnerships, and promoting excellence in media.
The publication will also host cultural diplomacy initiatives, bringing together artists, intellectuals, and innovators through global events. These initiatives will embody its core philosophy—“Where Hearts and Thoughts Unite.”
The revival of The Times of Russia is more than a return; it is a renaissance. From a patriotic Russian newspaper that ceased print in 1944 to its digital resurrection in 2018 and global expansion today, TTOR stands as a symbol of continuity, courage, and cultural pride.
In an era of shifting narratives, The Times of Russia reminds the world that truth, tradition, and connection are timeless values. With its renewed commitment to authentic journalism, it embarks on a bold new chapter—from Russia to the world—reaffirming that integrity, respect, and dialogue remain the most powerful tools for a better future.
