Populyarnaya Politika

Populyarnaya Politika was established as a publishing venture connected to opposition politics in Russia and operates natively on YouTube rather than as a television channel; its format — live streams, interviews and current-affairs discussion — was designed for the platform.

Its identity is explicitly oppositional and it does not disguise it. For a reader who wants the side of Russian political argument that sits outside state television, it is a direct source; equally, it should be read knowing it is the voice of one side.
