Rossiyskaya Gazeta

What Rossiyskaya Gazeta does

Rossiyskaya Gazeta (Российская газета) is the official daily newspaper of the Russian Government, founded in 1990 and headquartered in Moscow. The publication functions as a Federal State Budgetary Institution (FGPU) under the Russian Government and serves as the primary statutory channel for publishing federal laws, government decrees, ministerial orders, and official regulations. Beyond its official documentation role, the newspaper delivers comprehensive socio-political coverage of domestic and international events, regional news from across Russia's federal districts, and analytical content on state policy. The primary customer relationship is institutional — serving the Russian Government as official publisher — while the secondary relationship is with the general Russian reading public and regional audiences.
