Reading newspapers in Russia

    Tuyền Linh |

    Visiting relatives in Russia in the middle of summer 2026, I certainly still carry the habit of reading newspapers. After 7 years, since the summer of 2019, I have returned to Russia. I cannot help but be surprised and happy to see with my own eyes the very good and surprising changes, even though online, I still regularly read a few Russian newspapers every day. And I found a few places selling newspapers, buying a few paper newspapers. Russian newspapers, of course, also have many changes...

Tại Nga hiện nay, chẳng hạn ở Thủ đô Moskva, có 2 tờ báo phát miễn phí mỗi ngày (trừ thứ Bảy, Chủ nhật), phát vào giờ cao điểm, chủ yếu trong tàu điện ngầm, với số lượng phát hành trên dưới nửa triệu bản, là Metro và Moskva buổi chiều (phiên bản buổi chiều, khổ A3). Người phát báo cũng là những phụ nữ trung niên hay cao niên - công việc làm thêm của người về hưu. Ảnh: TUYỀN LINH

In Russia today, for example in Moscow, there are 2 newspapers distributed free of charge every day (except Saturdays and Sundays), distributed during peak hours, mainly in the subway, with a circulation of over half a million copies, which are Metro and Moscow in the afternoon (afternoon version, size A3). The newspaper distributors are also middle-aged or elderly women - part-time jobs of retirees. Photo: TUYEN LINH
