Outlet track record
The Moscow Times
Independent Russian-exile / anti-Kremlin
The Moscow Times is an English- and Russian-language news outlet originally founded in Moscow in 1992 that now operates in exile from Amsterdam after Russia labeled it a 'foreign agent' in 2023. It is funded mainly by donations, grants, and subscriptions rather than a single owner, and its coverage is strongly critical of the Kremlin. Its reporting on the Trump administration is largely incidental to its Russia focus and does not show a consistent partisan lean toward U.S. domestic politics.
Owned byOperated by a Netherlands-based nonprofit foundation; founded by Dutch publisher Derk Sauer in 1992, later sold to Russian businessman Demyan Kudryavtsev (2015); no single controlling owner today after its 2022 relocation and restructuring as an editorially independent outlet
