Founded in 2002, Alexander Cherkassky’s Frankfurt-based news company LTC Media Verlag began as a way of keeping Russian speakers based in Germany informed about news and major changes taking place across the country. Over the years, it has become the premier source of Russian-language news and information to Russian-speaking audiences in Germany and worldwide.
Today, their readership stays informed through multiple channels– Rusverlag, a web-based news platform, Russian Voyage, a magazine highlighting Russian-speaking tour agencies in Germany, a career advice newspaper, and Neue Zeiten, a monthly newsletter that circulates about 20,000 copies per issue covering politics, economics, society, and useful information about all things German. Neue Zeiten also has an affiliated Youtube Channel that covers major news events in Germany.
Russian-language news about Germany
Rusverlag provides a wide range of information in Russian, and while primarily catering to an audience based in Germany, publishes a vast array of stories about economics, international affairs, health, and much more going on around the world.
Russian speakers can stay in the loop about what’s happening in their community thanks to a constant news stream covering local developments. Besides news, the magazine publishes a plethora of practical information geared towards making the audience’s lives in Germany more comfortable. These articles tackle subjects like how to make yourself a viable candidate in the German job market, how to obtain certain documents for residence permits, and more.
In their mission to improve the lives of their Russian-speaking audience in Germany, Rusverlag reports heavily on cultural happenings and attractions around the country. It’s the best place to find out about festivals and exhibits worth visiting, and shines the spotlight on smaller tourist attractions for the next outing.
Readers interested in finding out more about current events in Germany can also visit their affiliated Youtube Channel, Neue Zeiten TV. The channel publishes several episodes per week with a regular cast of hosts sharing information about big news events and changes coming to the country in Russian.
In addition to their regular cycle of news stories and features, they also maintain a special tab on their website dedicated to information for Ukrainian refugees arriving in Germany. Having these resources all in one place has proven a valuable tool for the refugees suddenly finding themselves in a new home during uncertain times. The articles keep them up to date on legalizing their stay in the country, employment opportunities, and more.
A news source without agenda
LTC Media Verlag and all of its publications are owned and operated by Russian speakers who are German citizens. The company is not an extension of the Russian Federation in any way. They receive funding from ad sales just like other media. Partners include local and international businesses whose products and services might be of interest to Rusverlag’s readership and include travel agencies, car dealerships, language schools, and more.
