Russia Insider is a news website that was launched in September 2014 by American expatriates living in Russia.[1] The website describes itself as providing an alternative to how Russia is portrayed in the Western media.[1][2][3] Other sources have described it as being "pro-Russian," "pro-Kremlin",[4][5][6][7][8] advocating and pushing antisemitism[9] and featuring false or misleading content.[10]
