History
It was formally opened with the blessing of Patriarch of Moscow, Alexy II, on February 8, 1991 as Radio-1 on the basis of All Union First Programme.[1]
On December 27, 1991, following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the broadcasting of the program was transferred to the Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company Ostankino (the latter was created to replace the All-Union State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company). In the following years, competition for airtime between Radio 1 and Radio Yunost intensified. As a result, the once-global All Union First Programme (Radio 1)'s national broadcasting volume began to decline, and its authority waned.[1] and on October 12, 1995, the process of its liquidation began, and on May 17, 1996, broadcasting on the radio channel was transferred to the state institution of the same name,[2][3] but on September 19, 1997, it was liquidated.[4][5]
Among its anchors were Gleb Skorokhodov, Victor Tatarskiy, Dmitry Ukhov, Galina Besedina, Diana Berlin, Pavel Voshchanov and Raisa Shabanova
