==History== On June 30, 2002, VGTRK executive Oleg Dobrodeev announced the creation of RTR-Planeta, targeted towards Western Europe and the Middle East with plans to launch in North America by autumn. According to Dobrodeev, RTR-Planeta wasn't "a commercial project", meaning that there would be no commercial advertising "for the time being". The channel launched on July 1, 2002 via the Express-3A satellite. Programming included morning relays of Euronews, RTR's programming (including Vesti's editions, its TV series and movies), as well as some programming from Kultura. The channel was financed by VGTRK's internal reserves and did not receive funding from the State. The Russian version of the channel aired with foreign advertising.
