Russia's President Vladimir Putin has abolished the country's state-owned news agency RIA Novosti.

In a surprise decree published on the Kremlin's website on Monday, Mr Putin announced it would be replaced by a news agency called Russia Today.

The new agency will be headed by journalist and keen Kremlin supporter Dmitry Kiselev.

The state-owned Voice of Russia radio station has also been closed. The decree was effective immediately.


Hello, and while I realize this ng is for the HF radio band, I'd like to
point out that VOR is still alive and well on the MW band at 1390 kHz in
the metro Washington DC area. Sincerely,
