RTVI US: 25 years of trust, truth, and TV pleasure
RTVI US: 25 years of trust, truth, and TV pleasure Russian-language television in America has celebrated a quarter-century alongside its viewers. Of course, that's long enough to raise children, transform cities, and change lives. But some values remain unchanged. For 25 years, RTVI US has been giving Russian-speaking America the opportunity to hear the latest news, feel supported, and remain part of a large, vibrant, and warm community. This is television in our native language, the one we don't forget even after leaving our native land, the one that preserves memories, warms our souls, and gives us confidence when it's so important to hear something familiar. When you're tired and don't feel like searching for the right words, you return to the language of your childhood. An accent ceases to be a barrier, and the news becomes a support and a link to home. "We'll always be there. We keep the line open, speak two languages, and remain by your side," emphasized Mikhail Romanovsky, COO of RTVI US. Since 2000, the channel has united Russian-speaking audiences in the United States, remaining a model of independent journalism and open dialogue, inspiring and serving as a mirror of the multi-vocal life in America. Today RTVI US is: • TV channel; • dynamic news site; • popular YouTube platforms; • modern digital services. Both the first generation of emigrants and young people who grew up in America find their place here. Over the past 25 years, I have witnessed and written about many of RTVI US's triumphs. I sincerely admired fearless journalists, especially during the pandemic: I worried about the screen and prayed for the courageous Lisa Kaimin and George Tsikhiseli as they worked on the front lines, broadcasting from a hospital set up in Manhattan's Central Park. The New York State Assembly presented Lisa Kaimin with awards for her 20 years of service to RTVI US, dedication to the profession, and significant contributions to the development of journalism. Her high editorial standards, ability to speak to the audience in a common language, and participation in daily broadcasts have been a key source of trust and have strengthened the channel's connection with the community. The anniversary evening in the heart of Manhattan was a celebration of creativity and recognition, a glittering gala featuring graceful ballerinas, regal TSAR CAVIAR black caviar from general sponsor Oleg Sanzyapov, exquisite appetizers, wine, gifts, a raffle, and an awards ceremony. Government officials arrived to congratulate RTVI US: • New York State Senator Stephen T. Chan; • New York State Assembly members Alec Brooke-Krasny and David I. Weprin; • New York City Council members Inna Vernikov and Susan Zhuang; • Brooklyn County Republican Party Chairman Liam McCabe; • Brooklyn County Conservative Party Chair Francis Vella-Marrone; • Vice-Chair of the Brooklyn District Republican Party Svetlana Zelinskaya and other invited representatives of government, business and public sectors. The gala evening was a striking confirmation of RTVI US's role in the Russian-speaking diaspora in the United States and its role as a key player in multicultural dialogue. The company's contributions to independent journalism and community life were recognized with a number of official awards and recognitions. 1. Proclamation of the New York State Senate from Senator Stephen T. Chan - for outstanding coverage of the life of the Russian-speaking community in the United States, commitment to professional standards and the development of intercultural dialogue. 2. Certificates of Honor from the New York State Assembly from Assemblymen Alec Brook-Krasny, David I. Weprin, William Colton, and Mikhail Novakhov – for RTVI US’s long-standing contribution to the New York City information ecosystem, quality journalism, and community service; for advancing diversity and civic participation. 3. Certificates of Honor from the New York City Council from Council members Justin Brannan, Inna Vernikov, and Susan Zhuang – for "25 years of creative excellence," significant contribution to the city's information agenda, and support of the New York community. RTVI US is an independent voice that is clearly heard. Mikhail Romanovsky noted that RTVI US has once again entered the White House press pool, covering important international events from Alaska to London. The event brought together leaders of Russian America: business entrepreneurs, artists, and public figures—people who make our community vibrant, active, and inspired. Among the guests were: • Ruslan Gladkovitser with his brilliant wife, singer Svetlana; • CEO of NetCost Market Edward Schneider with his wife; • NetCost Market representative Yana Mosina; • businessmen Alla and Dmitry Lisovetsky; • actress Zeyna Gagne; • model and public figure Irina Dmitrakova and others. Special thanks were extended to the "American Stories" program, a project featuring vivid interviews and heartfelt stories. Many people came up to me and said that they saw my interview, quoting my words: “Always learn and don’t be afraid to speak English!” I would like to thank RTVI US News Director Georgiy Tsikhiseli for the invitation and for the RusRek media holding's certificate of honor, which was ceremoniously presented to radio editor Tanya Rubis.

I didn't believe in magic until I met Lilia. Everything was too complicated: betrayal, pain, resentment. But Lilia not only saw everything as if it were in the palm of my hand, she helped me not to go crazy. Through her work, I was able to forgive, let go of the old and get my husband back. We've come a long way, but it was worth it. It's amazing how much one truly strong person can do. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Feedback about a clairvoyant who changed my life. I thought for a long time whether to write this review. Not because I doubt it — on the contrary, the result exceeded all my expectations. It’s just very personal. But perhaps my words will help those who are now in the same state I once was. Our family was on the verge of collapse. Constant quarrels, misunderstandings, coldness and alienation... It seemed as if some invisible fog had settled in the house — sticky, heavy, making it difficult to breathe. My husband and I became strangers, the children felt tense, and I woke up every morning with a feeling of hopelessness. Nothing helped: neither conversations, nor advice from loved ones, nor psychologists. On the advice of a friend, I turned to clairvoyant Alexandra. At first I was skeptical — can anyone “remove negativity” and “save a family”? But at that moment I was ready to try everything. From the first minutes of communication, I felt incredible warmth. She didn't ask unnecessary questions... she spoke. And every word she said was spot on. As if she saw not only my life, but also my soul. She accurately described where the discord came from, who and what influences our family, what energetic traces remained in the house, and even mentioned people I had long forgotten, but who had once caused harm. The work was deep, sometimes difficult, but after each session I felt better. The house seemed to "breathe", it became lighter, calmer. My husband became softer, we began to talk, look at each other with warmth. Even the children began to get sick less often and laugh more often - I'm not kidding. The atmosphere changed completely. As if a black veil had been removed that had covered the sun for a long time. Now, looking back, I understand how important this decision was - to turn to Alexandra for help. Not to a psychologist, not to a friend, not to yourself in the mirror with tears in your eyes, but to a person who sees more, deeper, more subtly. Thank you Alexandra for preserving my family, my inner peace and faith in goodness. Sometimes miracles happen. You just need not to be afraid to believe in them!

I don’t know how to explain it, but thank you Matrona for helping me not to lose what is most precious to me.
To be honest... I was in complete and utter shit back then. My wife left, slamming the door so hard that everything inside me collapsed. The apartment was empty, the silence was oppressive, I was pacing the room like a cornered wolf. I couldn't work, I sent my friends away, I hated myself. My life was going to hell. At some point, I realized: that's it, I can't handle it anymore. And I went to Matrona. Without hope, without any pretty words... just like a man who has no one else to turn to. I begged her like a man, please help... If there's even a chance to get her back, help. I was already at rock bottom. And, damn it, the last thing I expected happened. A couple of days later, my wife contacted me herself. Not with any show-offs, not with reproaches... she just said... Let's talk. I almost dropped the phone. She came home... And we talked so much that it seemed the walls were shaking: we broke down, screamed, were silent, cried. But damn, it was real. And most importantly... she stayed. The house came to life. I came to life. It was as if someone had shaken us both. I don't know how to explain it, but thank you Matrona for helping me not to lose what was most precious to me. I couldn't have done it without her. Here's her number: +38(063) 022 89 99 Viber/WhatsApp
When the soul finds no peace, when the heart is gripped by anxiety and pain, it's a sign that you need to seek answers. Clairvoyant Lilia helps where reason is powerless and where hope fades with each passing day. Through Tarot cards and the energy of photography, I see the truth that cannot be hidden. Even an old photograph bears the imprint of fate—from it, I can tell what's happening to a person, whether they're alive, whether they love you, whether they remember you, what they're feeling, and what intentions they're hiding. I sense lies, betrayal, estrangement, rivalry, deception—and I can reveal the truth to you, no matter how difficult it may be. If there's a wall of silence between you, if you feel your strength ebbing and your life losing meaning, I will help restore harmony. I will determine whether there is a curse, hex, love spell, or hex, who cast it, and when, and I will cleanse you—removing negativity, restoring energy, aligning your chakras, and providing powerful protection. After the ritual, you'll feel lightness, calm, and a desire to live and believe again. Tarot cards don't lie—they'll show you what lies ahead: whether love is worth fighting for, whether to trust someone, what your path will be, and where the twist of fate is that could change everything. I don't promise miracles—I help create them, because I'm born with power, and through it, I bring light, hope, and love back to people. Clairvoyant Lily. Tarot reading. Photo diagnostics. Negativity removal. I'll help you regain what seemed lost forever. Contacts: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433
"I'm 54. I'm not young, but I'm not old yet either. I'm just… forgotten. Once, people used to call me by my name. Now it's just "buddy," "bum," "here again." Back then, I carried a briefcase; now I wear a torn jacket. There were meetings in offices — now I only meet the cold. I taught my son how to ride a bicycle. Now I'm learning to stand on my own feet again after another night under the bridge. Yes, I made mistakes. But doesn't everyone want a third? Sometimes I feel like a tree felled, bark cracked... And for a moment, I will be a person again. If only for a moment. Thank you for that moment." PAY PAL [email protected]
