History
According to the National Electronic Library, issue No. 0 of Parlamentskaya Gazeta was dated 7 May 1998.[1] The idea of creating a parliamentary media outlet has been attributed to State Duma chairman Gennady Seleznyov, who also proposed the newspaper's name.[4]
In 2011–2012, the newspaper underwent a rebranding: it switched to colour printing, redesigned its layout and expanded its distribution through regional printing points.[4] According to the National Electronic Library, the newspaper's issues included regional inserts and thematic supplements.[1] In 2023, for the newspaper's 25th anniversary, Parlamentskaya Gazeta and the Russian State Library signed a licence agreement to provide open access to its archive through the National Electronic Library.[1][5]
Sanctions
On 9 November 2023, amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Canada added Parlamentskaya Gazeta to its sanctions list as part of measures against Russian individuals and entities accused of spreading disinformation and war propaganda.[6][7][8]
