History
''Russia Beyond The Headlines'' was launched in 2007 by the ''
Rossiyskaya Gazeta'', a newspaper published by the
Government of Russia. The first publisher of the project was the deputy CEO of ''Rossiyskaya Gazeta''

On January 9, 2016, ''RBTH'' became part of
TV-Novosti whilst retaining its own distinct brand.
In 2017 the project dropped all printed versions.
On 5 September 2017, ''RBTH'' dropped the last two words of its full name, becoming ''Russia Beyond''.
''Russia Beyond'' is managed by a section of the news agency TV-Novosti.
