List of Russian Newspapers and Online News Sources in the USA

Russian-speaking communities in the United States have a rich history of journalism, with newspapers and digital news platforms serving as vital sources of information, culture, and political discourse. One of the earliest publications was the Alaska Herald (1868–1876), a bilingual Russian-English newspaper published in San Francisco. The Novoe Russkoe Slovo (1920–2010), based in New York, became the most influential Russian diaspora newspaper, offering daily coverage for nearly a century before ceasing publication.

Today, Russkaia Zhizn' (San Francisco) holds the title of the longest-running Russian newspaper in the U.S., while Kstati (San Francisco) and Panorama (Los Angeles) remain active in major cities. Modern digital platforms like Kontinent (Midwest and mid-Atlantic regions) and Vechernii N'iu-Iork (New York) provide news tailored to Russian-American audiences. Additionally, Moscow-backed publications such as Argumenty i Fakty Amerika cater to diaspora readers with mixed U.S. and Russian content.

For historical research, digitized archives like Chronicling America and the Russia Abroad Digital Collection offer access to rare émigré newspapers. Whether for current events or historical insights, these sources remain essential for the Russian-speaking community in America.
