Since 1990, our company has been seeking out and serving the niche market of Russophiles: people passionate about all things Russian. Our primary market is Americans, but the phenomenon knows no boundaries and our international audience is experiencing rapid growth.

The Magazine

Founded in 1956, Russian Life is a bimonthly (six issues per year) magazine on Russian culture, business, travel, politics, economy and society. It is the world’s largest paid circulation, English language magazine on Russia.

Russian Life magazine offers original feature and news articles, written by Russian and foreign writers. Our coverage is objective, with a focus on enduring news, issues and events.

Each issue is 64 pages and includes a well-balanced mix of articles on history, contemporary affairs, business, trends, news and analysis.

In January 2019, the magazine was completely redesigned to create a more readerly product, intended to be collected and shared.

Russian Life magazine’s 25,000 Russophile readers are active consumers of all things Russian:

  • They travel to Russia frequently
  • They want to buy Russian-made goods, from books and videos, to vodka and food products
  • They want to read books about Russia
  • They want to study the Russian language

Advertising in Russian Life is an efficient, cost-effective way to reach these pre-qualified buyers.
