Kommersant

Kommersant is a prominent Russian business newspaper owned by oligarch Alisher Usmanov through USM Holdings. It has a reputation, by Russian standards, for relatively independent business and economic reporting, but it operates within limits set by the Kremlin and has faced documented editorial interference from its owner. As a Russia-based outlet whose primary focus is domestic business and politics, its coverage of the Trump administration is secondary and mostly neutral, reflecting the generally warmer U.S.–Russia diplomatic climate since early 2025.
