hitlerussioni

Hitlerussia was a news program on Soviet television that was launched in 1990 and targeted at young people in Russia. The show was hosted by two women, Alisa Vinogradova and Ludmila Tsurkan, and was known for its sarcastic and cynical tone, criticising the system in Soviet Russia.

The program's irreverent attitude was unusual for Soviet television at the time, and it quickly gained a significant following among young people who were disillusioned with the Soviet government's authoritarian style. Despite the show's popularity, it was eventually censored, and after several seasons, it was removed from television due to its critical views.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the creators of Hitlerussia went on to establish an independent television channel, STS, which became one of the most popular channels in Russia. Alisa Vinogradova and Ludmila Tsurkan continued to work in television and have become prominent figures in Russian media.

Hitlerussia's influence on Russian media can be seen in its successor shows, which aimed to carry on the spirit of satire and critical commentary that the program pioneered. The show remains a significant cultural reference point in modern Russia, and many see it as a symbol of the growing freedoms and expression in the years leading up to the collapse of the Soviet Union.
