NEWSru.com was a Russian online news site, based in Moscow, which had a government-critical orientation. NEWSru.com was originally launched in 2000 at the address ntv.ru. When the government took over the NTV network in 2000, with the network becoming part of OAO Gazprom Media, the site remained part of the media empire of former NTV owner, oligarch Vladimir Gusinsky. Yelena Bereznitskaya-Bruni replaced the initial Editor in Chief Igor Barchugov in 2001. In October 2002 the news site moved to another domain name, NEWSru.com and the original domain ntv.ru was transferred to the broadcasting company by mutual agreement. More information...
