Finnish R Rapu plans to start broadcasting in Russian.
Finnish commercial R Rapu submitted an application to the Ministry of Communications of Finland on access to radio frequencies intended for broadcasting to Russia, reports Helsingin Sanomat. R Rapu justifies his decision to go to the Russian-language broadcasting limited freedom of speech in Russia. According to preliminary estimates R Rapu, the launch of the Russian-language news portal will cost 500 thousand dollars. Money for the project was collected on raudfandingovom American site Kickstarter.com. Finnish scheduled news broadcast medium wave (MW) and possibly via the Internet. Transfer to MW can be heard at least in St. Petersburg. News of the website will be transmitted to the satellite. Satellite transmission could broadcast to the entire western Russia. Radio Rapu say their goal - to start broadcasting no later than early 2015. (fontanka.fi in OnAir.ru via RUS-DX No 782, Aug 24)

Russia, Voice of Russia
The radio situation in the world so far has been, that more and more international stations are closing down. In December last year the structures of the Voice of Russia and R Rossii were dissolved and very few broadcasts continued on SW on DRM under a new structure. Nearly all employees were dismissed and Russia began to dismantel its many SW transmitters. But surprisingly Russia just has reported to the HFCC (High Frequency Co-ordination Conference) that from October 01, 2014, the Voice of Russia again will be broadcasting in 14 languages on SW also in AM, and R Rossii will be reestablished. Due to the conflict with Ukraine with Russian troops supporting the Pro-Russians in Eastern Ukraine and Crimea, they obviously do not think their domestic information is heard in the West. Thus they decided to reactivate their Foreign Service in full scale.
