Moscow, Russia — A historic chapter in global journalism has reopened as The Times of Russia (TTOR) makes its remarkable comeback to the international media stage. Once a small yet powerful Russian press that operated before 1941, The Times of Russia earned respect for its deep cultural roots, patriotic values, and commitment to truthful storytelling.
After ceasing print operations in 1944, the publication lay dormant for decades. Then, in 2018, the launch of the digital portal The Times of Russia marked a bold new beginning — reviving one of Russia’s oldest journalistic legacies for the modern digital era. Under the leadership of the TTOR Group, the media house now stands as a global English-language news platform, proudly carrying its timeless motto: “Where Hearts and Thoughts Unite.”
A Legacy Rooted in Culture and Patriotism
Founded in the pre-war era, The Times of Russia emerged as a publication that celebrated the heart and soul of Russian civilization. Its early editions captured stories of art, literature, spirituality, and the everyday resilience of the Russian people. It wasn’t merely a newspaper — it was a mission to preserve and promote Russian identity through truth and cultural pride.
Even through the upheavals of the 20th century, the publication remained a symbol of integrity and unity. Today, as it re-emerges under the TTOR Group, The Times of Russia continues that same legacy — offering the world a reliable window into Russia’s authentic voice, told with accuracy and heart.
A Modern Global Voice for a Connected World
The modern Times of Russia steps confidently into the digital age with a clear mission: to be a bridge between Russia and the world. Grounded in traditional journalistic ethics but equipped with modern tools, the platform delivers real-time international coverage on politics, economics, culture, technology, science, and diplomacy.
At a time when information is often clouded by bias, TTOR is committed to factual reporting and balanced analysis, fostering cross-cultural understanding and fair representation of Russia in global conversations.
Where Hearts and Thoughts Unite
The publication’s tagline, “Where Hearts and Thoughts Unite,” embodies its commitment to human connection through journalism. Beyond news, it stands for empathy, education, and unity. Every feature, interview, or editorial on thetimesofrussia.com seeks to bridge emotional and intellectual divides, allowing readers from all continents to experience journalism that informs and inspires.
Through its storytelling, TTOR serves as a cultural bridge, highlighting positive cooperation between nations and promoting peace through shared values and knowledge.

The platform will spotlight Russia’s achievements in science, culture, art, innovation, and diplomacy, countering misinformation and showcasing the creative and resilient spirit of the Russian people.
Future Expansion and Cultural Diplomacy
