Director General of the All- Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company (VGTRK)

Oleg Dobrodeev is the Director General of the largest state-owned media holding in Russia. He has actively participated in the Kremlin’s propaganda by creating and disseminating distorted information in the interests of the political leadership of the Russian Federation. Oleg Dobrodeev is the initiator and main creator of the state TV channel Rossiya-24 and owner of the TV channel Russia-1. These channels are the main mouthpieces of state propaganda, effectively fulfilling the task of strengthening the Putin regime and providing propaganda for its aggressive domestic and foreign policies, including military operations in Ukraine. These channels discuss the future of a divided Ukraine and the “young republics”, the failures of the reforms of the Ukrainian presidents, and any actions of the Ukrainian authorities are ridiculed or condemned. Oleg Dobrodeev participates in meetings of the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation, where the leaders of the main state media are given instructions. He is therefore responsible for actively supporting or implementing actions or policies which undermine or threaten the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine.
