Rossiya Segodnya is an international news agency founded by a
decree of the Russian President on 9 December 2013. "
Rossiya Segodnya" directly translates from Russian into English as "
Russia Today", but should not be confused with the TV network
RT, which was known as
Russia Today prior to 2009. However, the station is sometimes referred to as "
Russia Today" or the "
New Russia Today" in foreign media.
