📸 Сегодня, в день 85-летия создания Советского информбюро, медиагруппа «Россия сегодня» открывает масштабную фотовыставку «85 лет Совинформбюро. Ожившая история. Запечатлённая эпоха».

🖼 Экспозиция объединяет 30 знаковых фоторабот, снятых за прошедшие годы, и впервые показывает историю страны через призму оживших с помощью нейросетей архивных кадров.

Выставка приурочена к 24 июня 1941 года — именно в этот день, на третий день Великой Отечественной войны, было создано Советское информбюро.

На протяжении 85 лет агентство, позже преобразованное в Агентство печати «Новости» (АПН), а затем в РИА Новости, оставалось главным голосом страны, фиксируя ключевые события отечественной и мировой истории. Сегодня его традиции продолжает медиагруппа «Россия сегодня», объединяющая РИА Новости и Sputnik.

В экспозиции представлены работы прославленных фотографов, среди которых легендарные фотокоры-фронтовики: Георгий Зельма, Евгений Халдей, Владимир Гребнев, Михаил Озерский, Игорь Костин и другие мастера репортажной фотографии.

❗️ В объективах этих авторов — Сталинградская битва и Парад Победы 1945 года, первый полёт Юрия Гагарина, Олимпийские игры в Москве 1980 года, Сочи и Милане, работа миротворческих сил, исторические встречи мировых лидеров.

☝️ Особенность выставки — сочетание кадров героического прошлого и современных технологий, позволяющих «оживить» исторические снимки. Посетитель видит не только статичное чёрно-белое или цветное изображение, но и движение, смену ракурсов. Запечатлённые мгновения перестают быть застывшими — прошлое буквально на глазах оживает, позволяя по-новому взглянуть на хорошо знакомые страницы истории.

💬 Из приветственного слова посетителям выставки генерального директора медиагруппы «Россия сегодня» Дмитрия Киселёва:
85 лет назад, в тяжёлые первые дни Великой Отечественной, родилось Советское информбюро. Оно было призвано стать голосом страны в час величайших испытаний.

И сегодня, листая эту уникальную летопись, мы видим, как военные сводки стали началом большого пути, в котором отразилась целая эпоха. Это история нашей страны. Хроника побед, покорение космоса, триумфы наших спортсменов и великих деятелей культуры. И конечно — свидетельство той колоссальной роли, которую наша страна играла и играет на мировой арене.

Мы — медиагруппа «Россия сегодня» и агентства РИА Новости и Sputnik — являемся прямыми наследниками того самого Совинформбюро. И традиции фронтовых корреспондентов, которые вместе с советскими воинами прошли дорогами войны, фиксируя каждый шаг к Великой Победе, для нас не пустой звук. Сегодня наши военкоры работают так же, как и их славные предшественники 85 лет назад, — на передовой. Рискуя жизнью, чтобы мир увидел правду.

Эта выставка — наш поклон тем, кто создавал историю. И тем, кто продолжает её создавать сейчас.


ℹ️ Выставка «85 лет Совинформбюро. Ожившая история. Запечатлённая эпоха» сформирована медиагруппой «Россия сегодня» при сотрудничестве и поддержке Министерства иностранных дел Российской Федерации. Экспозиция будет представлена в российских дипломатических представительствах за рубежом.

⭐️ Today is the 85th Anniversary of the Sovinformburo (Soviet Information Bureau)

The exhibition marks the 85th anniversary of the Sovinformburo. It features works by RIA Novosti photographers, taken from the 1940s through the 2020s. Among the themes: the Battle of Stalingrad, the 1945 Victory Parade, Gagarin’s first flight, the Olympic Games in Moscow, Sochi and Milan, the mission of peacekeeping forces, as well as meetings of world leaders. The exhibition comprises 30 works in total.

The history of the photographs on display is inseparably linked to the history of the Sovinformburo, founded in 1941. It was later transformed into the Press Agency “Novosti” and subsequently into “RIA Novosti”, whose traditions are carried on today by the “Rossiya Segodnya” media group.

The archive, assembled over 85 years, forms the foundation of this exhibition.

⚡️ Russia's Foreign Ministry has published its second report on the situation regarding the rights of Indigenous peoples in selected countries.

Like the previous report published in 2024, it identifies the key current challenges and analyses the situation of Indigenous populations in six Arctic Council member states: Canada, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden and the United States, as well as Australia, Japan and New Zealand.

In recent years, the issue of Indigenous peoples’ rights has become excessively politicised and rife with cynically applied double standards. Overall, it is increasingly being used to foment division and confrontation rather than promote cooperation among members of the international community.

The US, Canada and their allies have stepped up their activities at universal international platforms, within regional formats and in the media, promoting narratives about alleged violations of Indigenous peoples’ rights in Russia and several developing countries. In doing so, they seek to:

• divert global attention from problems in North America, Western Arctic states, Australia, Japan and New Zealand;
• call into question Russia’s right to its ancestral Arctic territories.

Virtually all the countries covered by the report have historically pursued policies of assimilation and discrimination against their Indigenous populations in one form or another. This has created, and continues to cause, numerous sociopolitical and cultural problems.

Many countries are currently developing mechanisms for consultation and cooperation with Indigenous communities. However, the measures adopted in this area are often incomplete.

☝️Common challenges facing Indigenous peoples in various countries include:

• the gradual erosion of their traditional way of life as a consequence of past assimilation policies;
• violations of their rights to traditional lands and natural resources;
• environmental degradation caused by industrial exploitation and the militaristic activities of certain states abroad;
• high unemployment;
• Indigenous communities’ dependence on state subsidies.

These adverse phenomena are particularly acute in Arctic countries, which is why the situation there has been addressed in a separate report.

🇷🇺🇧🇾 This issue was also traditionally covered in the third Joint Report by the Foreign Ministries of Russia and Belarus – “The Human Rights Situation in Certain Countries”, published in June 2026.

These matters are also systematically addressed in the Russian Foreign Ministry’s annual human rights reports, including those examining the glorification of Nazism, the spread of neo-Nazism and other practices contributing to the escalation of contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance. The latest such report was published in August 2025.

📄 The Russian Foreign Ministry has compiled and issued a report on the indigenous peoples rights situation in certain countries.

👉 Read the report in full

Despite continued focus on indigenous peoples and general understanding that it is important to develop and protect their rights, significant challenges in this area still remain. Among other things, this is caused by persisting and even deepening historical injustice against many indigenous peoples that occurs in a number of states, which manifested itself in colonization, deprivation of land, territories and resources of those indigenous peoples.

❗️ We also note that the topic of indigenous people’s rights is subject to excessive politicization as well, is fraught with cynically applied double standards, and is generally aimed at creating division and confrontation rather than cooperation between all participants.

Additionally, assessment of the living standards of indigenous peoples is misused by a number of States (primarily Canada, Norway, Finland, the US, etc.) and international organizations to exert international pressure, including with the aim of questioning Russia's right to its original Arctic lands.

Another goal of this unfair practice of a number of countries is to divert the attention of the international community from their own problems in establishing a regime for the protection of the rights of indigenous peoples and to conceal the plight of their citizens from among traditional societies.

For example, almost all Arctic States mentioned in the report pursued some form of assimilation and discrimination policies towards the aboriginal population, which led to multiple social, political and cultural problems.

Canada

Indigenous peoples of Canada remain one of the most oppressed and marginalised groups, facing persistent discrimination and life below the poverty line.

The Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, mandated by the UN Human Rights Council, has reported that the protection of economic, social and cultural rights of Indigenous peoples in Canada remains unsatisfactory.

Canada's ongoing colonial violence against Indigenous peoples manifests, to this day, in practices such as forced sterilisation.

Finland

Discrimination in Finland manifests as significant encroachments on the rights of the Sami people, indigenous inhabitants of Finland totalling around 10,000 people, with 2,000 native speakers of the Sami language. In most cases, human rights bodies have underscored obstacles to the practical realisation of the right to use the Sami language, enshrined in the Finnish legislation.

This topic was also traditionally included in the third joint report of the Foreign Ministries of Russia and Belarus on the Human Rights Situation in Certain Countries published in June 2026.

Besides, these issues are consistently highlighted in the annual reports of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation on human rights issues, including in reports regarding the situation with the glorification of Nazism and the spread of neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to fuelling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance (the latest such report was released in August 2025).
