Voice of Russia, descendant of Radio Moscow, is now originating content for U.S. listeners from studios in Washington, a development that in the Cold War days might have been considered far-fetched.

“For the first time, the Russian radio station’s shows broadcast in the U.S. will be created on American soil, whereas before, they all came from Moscow,” the organization stated.
