Nezavisimaya Gazeta

What Nezavisimaya Gazeta does

Nezavisimaya Gazeta (Независимая газета) is a private, independent Russian-language newspaper founded in 1990 and headquartered in central Moscow at Мясницкая ул., д.13, стр. 3 (postal code 101000). The publication functions as a general-interest news outlet with a primary focus on Russian politics, economics, international affairs, and culture, and is structured as a main website (ng.ru) accompanied by a portfolio of themed supplements and sub-brands — НГ-Exlibris (literature), НГ-Наука (science), НГ-Религии (religion), НГ-Энергия (energy), НГ-Экология (ecology), Дипкурьер (diplomatic courier), НГ-Политика (politics), Столица (Moscow), Сценарии (scenarios), МониториНГ (Konstantin Remchukov's monitoring column on China and international affairs), and the independent military-analytical sub-brand НВО (nvo.ng.ru). The company also maintains a dedicated mobile app.

The organization operates with a disclosed headcount of approximately 6 employees, which indicates a lean editorial and operational structure heavily dependent on long-tenured contributors and outsourced services — most notably Notamedia, which provides website development and technical support for the ng.ru platform. Revenue mechanics are not publicly disclosed; available signals point to a mix of print subscription, digital display advertising (banner inventory is visible on the homepage), and likely sponsored or partnership content. Distribution spans the ng.ru website, an official Telegram channel (@ng_ru), Twitter/X (@nezavisimaya_g), an RSS feed, the mobile app, and print newspaper subscription. Operational scale is small but the publication retains a 35-year editorial brand within the Russian-speaking media market, with Konstantin Remchukov serving as Chief Editor since at least 2012 and acting as the primary author of the signature МониториНГ column.
