History
RFE/RL’s Russian Service in 1953 began broadcasting to the Soviet Union from Munich under the name Radio Liberty. For four decades, it was a key source of information from both outside and inside the Soviet Union, providing a platform for dissidents and emigres to voice their views.
The Russian Service gave a voice to many prominent Soviet dissidents, including the nuclear physicist and human rights activist Andrei Sakharov, whose statements the service aired to Soviet audiences.
In 1991, then Russian President Boris Yeltsin signed a decree allowing the Russian Service to open a bureau in Moscow.
Following the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the broadcaster organized a network of stringers across the Russian Federation, from Kaliningrad in the West to Kamchatka in the far East.
In recent years, the website of the Russian Service has expanded beyond duplication of the broadcaster's radio programming to become a unique and independent information source.
