	CNN.com - Battle for NTV reaches climax - April 14, 2001
		NTV staff have fiercely opposed what they say is an illegal boardroom coup, claiming that the Kremlin was behind the move in a bid to silence the station's criticism of government policies.
		NTV political correspondent Alim Yusutov told CNN by phone from Moscow that he and other employees had been barred from entering the studios and had been told that a new staff was in place.
		NTV correspondent Alexei Kondulukov, speaking by telephone from inside the main television tower at Ostankino in northern Moscow, said a so-called commission on the transfer of property arrived at NTV's offices to take control of the network shortly before dawn.

		In fact I was watching NTV this morning an interesting and highly critical piece on whether or not the FSB screwed up by using that gas to free the hostages on Saturday.
		NTV was deeply indebted and losing oceans of money and its shareholders were fed up with Kiselev's arrogant refusal to do anything to improve the station s financial performance.
		In Russia, nearly all journalists are prejudiced in favor of democracy and capitalism, and are strongly prejudiced against Communism, although 20% of the country supports the Communists, and plenty of people are skeptical about capitalism, if not democracy.

		NTV's lack of enthusiasm for candidate Putin was expressed--among other ways--in a coverage of the war that was overall closer to the bloody reality on the ground than the picture being broadcast by other channels.
		NTV reports often featured the suffering of Chechen refugees and was the first to point out the high casualty rate among Russian troops.
		Privately-owned NTV is important because it is the newest of the three nationwide channels and the most professional in Russia.

	NTV TAKEOVER
		The journalists at NTV have angrily rejected a boardroom takeover on Tuesday by the gas firm Gazprom, which the journalists say is the tool the authorities are using to seize the channel and silence a vocal critic.
		NTV also showed regular shots of the station's foyer, where its own reporters and many from other media were awaiting the ousted NTV directors and, possibly, the new management.
		Turner's bid for a stake in NTV would be remarkable under any circumstances, representing by far the most important foreign investment in the media in a country that has known a free press for only a decade.

		MOSCOW, Russia -- The Russian state monopoly Gazprom has said it has taken a controlling stake in the country's only private television network, NTV.
		Media-Most spokesman Dmitry Ostalsky said bailiffs entered the company's offices and froze 19 percent of its shares in NTV pending a court decision on whether the independent media group or state-dominated gas giant Gazprom has the right to sell the shares.
		He said Gazprom would not interfere with NTV's editorial policy and would initiate the re-election of NTV's board of directors in the near future, placing more of its representatives into it.

	Russia through the small screen, by Sylvie Braibant and Carole Sigman
		The attention that the battle for NTV and its parent company has attracted is symptomatic of the importance television plays in Russian political life and the passions it arouses in viewers.
		Although NTV was launched in the private sector as a leading force for press freedom (the president of its illustrious board of trustees is Mikhail Gorbachev), Gazprom is now NTV’s de facto owner.
		In his attempts to depoliticise the debate, the president has stated that Gazprom’s takeover of NTV should not be viewed as an infringement of freedom of expression but as the result of a financial transaction stemming from Media-Most’s failure to repay its debts.

		Whether Putin allows NTV's brand of critical coverage to survive, as the network's ousted journalists hope, could be the biggest indicator yet of whether the former KGB colonel intends to unravel the democratic reforms put in place by his predecessor, Boris Yeltsin.
		Most of the NTV staff members moved temporarily to a cable station or to Moscow's TV6, which belongs to Boris Berezovsky, who also profited after the fall of the Soviet Union and like Gusinsky now is on the outs with the Kremlin.
		Rykovtseva says it is only because of NTV that Russians know about their nation's problems, such as the setbacks and deaths in the Chechen war, the sinking of the submarine Kursk last summer and winter hardships in Siberia when government heating plants fail.

	The New York Review of Books: A Free Press in Russia?
		Unfortunately, her analysis of the recent history of NTV and Media MOST omits crucial details and thus fails to recognize that the real threat to freedom of the press in Russia comes from financial mismanagement and irresponsible business decisions—the practices of the Gusinsky regime, which brought NTV and Media MOST to the brink of collapse.
		In today's Russia the press and television enjoy the freedom that is granted to them; but with very few exceptions, they tend to be cautious and cooperative when it comes to sensitive matters.
		NTV may not have been "truly independent"—I wonder whether true independence can in any case be achieved—but this is not the point.

		The decision to only spin-off the NTV portion of the company was in recognition of the fact that the television assets were the sole operating unit producing significant profit suitable for public investment.
		The two most critical ways of maintaining the independence of NTV is to establish a “hands off” approach to editorial content and to retain the employees who helped create the reputation of independence in the first place.
		With these business conclusions in mind, it is important not to minimize the struggle for NTV in terms of the opinions of the Russian people and the emotions the conflict has brought to the surface.

		Since the takeover, marked by court hearings and bailiff raids, NTV has toned down criticism of the Kremlin, though it remains the most liberal of Russia's main television channels, now all state-controlled.
