"We always received a lot of requests. People want the gold fund, which is located in VGTRK Tatarstan, to become affordable. It is very symbolic that this work was undertaken by the GTRK Russia branch, now people can touch the best singers, performances, and compositions that we have in the fund. And I think that there will be demand, "said Aydar Salimgaraev, head of the Republican Agency for Press and Mass Media" Tatmedia ". You can listen to the Voice of Tatarstan Internet radio station year-round anywhere in the world. The musical repertoire mainly consists of classical and modern songs by Tatar performers. It is noteworthy that from 21.00 to 00.00 Moscow time, songs will be played in Russian, Mari, Mordovian, Bashkir, Chuvash, Udmurt languages. Salimgaraev noted that people in self-isolation now have free time and this is the right moment to touch the gold fund, history and learn a lot about themselves. "I believe that this is really a great achievement, because there are clearly not enough radio formats in our republic in the Tatar language, and we still need youth radio stations; radio stations that will talk about very important topics, problems in the life of our republic; conversational radio stations, that is, we still have a lot of work ahead, "said Ilshat Aminov, Director General of the New Century Broadcasting Company.

Dario Monferini & Pubblicato da Giampiero Bernardini Milano, Italy. -------------------- martedì 24 marzo 2020 Nice tips on Medium Wave in these weeks. We read many interesting logs on FB groups, clubs' mailing lists, magazines. Here a log made in Bocca di Magra, Italy (Perseus & Cloud-IQ receivers with a 1530LNP loop) by Giampiero Bernardini and Dario Monferini (1611 clandestine Russian unid) Please note this tips: 1) A Soviet radio back from the past. On 1611 kHz Dario heard a real interesting "clandestine", as he defines it, radio from Russia (i seems) with old Soviet songs. In the bottom you can find what in Finland serious listeners say about it. ... 1611.4 24/3 0250-0400 Russian clandestine, "Govorit Moskva", Russian, old CCCP songs, fair About the Russian-Soviet radio on 1611 Kari Kallio, Lahti Finland (14/3-2020) reported: DX Info about Russian Clandestine MW radio station embarrassing in the Northern Europe. It started very innocent like for maybe two weeks ago as an odd disturbance under 1602 kHz and then in the early state some could note anyhow there speaking in Russian language which only few can understand here in the North, however. It let arise a vivid speculation ao. in the SDXL-AM-group what it was all about where it got the nickname "UNID 1599,62 kHz". Gradually the station started to crawl upwards and some heard it at least once on 1620 kHz...but it turned around and went downwards, seemingly now to be parked on 1611 kHz. It is the frequency where quite often many Dutch pirate radios use to transmit mainly pop or ethnic polka music. So inside their reception area this newcomer is not possible to be heard. Also among the Finnish DXers abnormalities were reported in reception with different antennas. JM Nurmela in Central Finland logged that he can hear to the station with the backbeam of his yankee antennawire but only Dutch polka with some other. The station is frequently S9-strong at least in the remote SW Finnish Kiwi SDR receiver in Turku as well in Belarussia. I asked there a DXer Alex to listen to the program and make notes about it. He analysed also some of my to him posted soundclips about contents. "This is a radio or movie magazine entry from the 1950s (?) tells about difficulties in the production of phonograph records (the first track is about helping the Red Army in this, the second track is about replacing old phonograph records with new ones at exchange points). No ID!" Last night he send me his own observations as follows: "On the evening of 12 and 13, I listened to 1611, again archived records * Good morning * and * Good evening * 60s-70s All-Union Radio (USSR), there was no identification of who is relaying. Alex". So far can we say that somebody has decided to dig very, over a half decade old filed archives radio recordings from the USSR as drama and radio plays to replay them anew to the audience which has probably not ever heard them live, now on the same old work-place: AM radio and on the Medium Waves. Is this some sublime trial to revive some kind of Museum Radio somewhere in the russophone world along the Southern beaches of the Baltic Sea or somewhere deeper in the inland? The time will later probably light up what it in fact was - a serious project or only fun" like a pirate radio.
