ru-exile
Russian-language press published outside Russia. 23 feeds, 22 owners, 134 stories in the week to 9 October 2026.
23 feeds from 22 owners (23 rss), measured as one market because synchrony only means something inside one7. It is collected and measured, but it is not in the weekly report — that report is written in English and adding this market to it is a question of the report, not of the data. The numbers below are from the same run that builds it (this week).
The week
| Week | Articles | Stories | Sections | Owners carrying | In a story | Largest owner |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3–9 Oct | 2,545 | 134 | 0 | 18 | 28% | 13% |
“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, 12% 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.
| Week | Articles | Stories |
|---|---|---|
| 08-22 – 08-28 | — | — |
| 08-29 – 09-04 | 2,305 | 99 |
| 09-05 – 09-11 | 2,569 | 108 |
| 09-12 – 09-18 | 2,489 | 115 |
| 09-19 – 09-25 | 2,702 | 114 |
| 09-26 – 10-02 | 2,547 | 111 |
| 10-03 – 10-09 | 2,545 | 134 |
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.
Owners that appear together
| Pair | Score | Together | Expected |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meduza + TV Rain | 9.2 | 175 | 96 |
| Deutsche Welle + Meduza | 6.4 | 108 | 63 |
| Echo + USAGM | 6.0 | 176 | 120 |
| BBC + Deutsche Welle | 4.5 | 32 | 15 |
| Deutsche Welle + TV Rain | 4.4 | 99 | 68 |
| Novaya Gazeta Europe + TV Rain | 3.9 | 41 | 23 |
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.
Which of the two goes first
| Pair | Shape | Score | Stories | Median gap |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TV Rain + Meduza | both ways | 3.3 | 278 | 48 min |
| Deutsche Welle + BBC | both ways | 3.3 | 69 | 131 min |
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.
