The last 60 stories our editors picked up, as their publishers wrote them: original headline, original excerpt, link to the source. 13 publishers, 1,061 stories in the archive. Last one 11 October 2026, 01:31 UTC.

There is no English edition of our news pages, and this is deliberate. We write the news up in Russian; an English version would be a machine rendering of someone else's reporting, which is thin duplicate content and worth nothing to you. What is genuinely in English is below, and it belongs to the publishers named next to it.
