Overton Catcher

ru-domestic

Press published inside Russia. 28 feeds, 21 owners, 1,884 stories in the week to 9 October 2026.

28 feeds from 21 owners (24 rss, 4 telegram), measured as one market because synchrony only means something inside one7. It is one of the markets in the weekly report, where it is compared with the others.

The week

“Sections” are clusters that are real but not events — the weather for forty cities, exchange rates, lottery draws — and they are counted apart from stories everywhere in this project36. “Largest owner” is the share of the market’s own week held by its biggest publisher, the baseline any single story is compared against.

Of the articles collected this week, 9% are not events at all — weather and listings, but also guides, shopping advice and columns. That reading comes from a small model trained for this project on labelled headlines, and it is reported rather than acted upon: the stories above are filtered by the narrower rule only36.

Weeks in which the market was still being wired up show a dash rather than a number: a market brought up mid-week reports every day, just with a quarter of its feeds30.

Owners are counted after word-for-word copies are collapsed into one voice5; the last column is how much of the story one voice wrote31.

This table is the reason the rest of the page can be read: these clusters are larger than any news of the week and would otherwise stand at the top of every table on it. The last two columns are the two ways a section is recognised and either one is enough36: a run of headlines that are templates of one another, and a model reading the articles themselves — the second one catches the sections too short to form a run, such as one lottery draw a day.

Measured over the whole archive rather than the week: the score grows with the number of stories, so it is read inside a market and never between two of them1529.

A pair is shown only if it holds in both halves of the archive35; the shape says whether one of the two is systematically first or the order is mutual16.
