Preparations for the launch of the project are being conducted with the blessing of Metropolitan Kirill of Kazan and Tatarstan. The Federal Service for Supervision in the Sphere of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media granted the right to carry out terrestrial broadcasting to the Autonomous non-profit organization Radio Vera - Kazan on May 29, 2019. The initiator of the organization of broadcasting radio "Vera" in the capital of Tatarstan was the ever-memorable Metropolitan Theophanes. The archpastor was convinced of the importance of the presence of an Orthodox radio station in the region, because "it has established itself as a product in the field of spiritual, cultural, philosophical, historical enlightenment, giving an in-depth look at universal values through the eyes of writers, artists and scientists." On March 1, Kazan will host an event timed to coincide with the opening of the Vera - Kazan radio. The meeting will be attended by Metropolitan Kirill, the clergy of the Kazan diocese, the leadership of the radio "Vera", representatives of state authorities, and public figures. Currently, Vera radio broadcasts in more than 40 cities of Russia, including Almetyevsk. Famous clergymen, public figures, representatives of the creative and scientific intelligentsia perform daily on the air of the radio station. The musical format includes modern and classical instrumental compositions, melodic Russian-language ballads, folk, romances and author's song. There is no commercial advertisement on the air of Vera radio. At the same time, a significant place is given to informing about charitable and social projects.

Didn't fit into the festive outline of the Anniversary of the Inovation. And the story was this: by the time I first came to the United States (it was a three-month business trip), Moscow had been broadcasting to America for almost half a century. On what was spent, I suppose, a lot of money. Dozens of people worked day and night, telling the Americans about the achievements of socialism in the land of the Soviets, as well as how unimportant things were for them in the den of capitalism. Before leaving, I was asked, if possible, to ask the Americans what they like about our programs, what should be changed, etc. Actually, in our American department we received a couple of hundred letters a month from our listeners. But mostly they were so-called. DX-ry, long distance communication lovers. They had special equipment to contact the same eccentrics on the other side of the world, to tell them, "Hello! What's your weather like?" and receive confirmation of admission. We wanted more meaningful letters. There were some, but more and more from the Communists, who were accustomed, apparently, from the war, to listen to reports from the front from the Soviet information bureau. Well, of course, we consoled ourselves with the thought that they were listening to us in America, but many are afraid to write to us, maybe they still had the memory of McCarthyism or something like that. But then I fly to America, I talk to one, another, a third American - everyone shrugs their shoulders, no one has a clue about Moscow radio in English. I'm starting to find out. It turns out that short waves have not been developed in the United States, and practically no one knows about them. Lord, to whom, besides the communists and DX-ditch, have we broadcast all this time? Fish in the Atlantic Ocean? Arriving in Moscow, I shared my impressions at a general meeting. It was a shock! The Deputy Chairman of the State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company who was present at the meeting called me after the meeting to his office and for a long time convinced me that I was mistaken, that it was not so. Alas, I was not mistaken - the work of our American department, in fact, was mostly used to feed the fish.

The existing administrative and economic system required a reformation, but clearly not the one that Nikita Khrushchev carried out. Naturally, the rapid development of scientific and technical thought could not but push researchers to the idea of using electronic computers to manage the country's economy ...

These are radios, radio stations, field telephones, etc. "Each of these exhibits has a story. But it is revealed only in museums, thanks to the professionalism of scientists who skillfully create the atmosphere of the era. Genuine objects will help illustrate one of the brightest and heroic pages of the war - the work of signalmen. And we are very pleased that this exposition will be held at the Victory Museum, the main custodian of the memory of the Great Patriotic War, "said RTRS General Director Andrei Romanchenko. Among the transferred equipment are devices manufactured at radio factories in Kharkov, Tula, Aleksandrov and supplied to the USSR under Lend-Lease. Field telephone EE-8A was produced in the USA in 1943. Among the exhibits is a Philips trophy apparatus. The lacquered massive tube radio 845 A-14 was produced in Germany in 1941 and was not intended for military use. Most likely, it was originally acquired by a wealthy burgher. The RTRS employees collected the items of the museum collection in different cities and proudly presented them to the Victory Museum. The artifacts are in good condition and of historical value.

If in 2005 23% of Russians did not listen to the radio, and in 2009 - 36%, now the share of those who ignore this media has reached 45%. The peak was in 2019, when this figure was 50%. According to the VTsIOM poll, 14% of respondents began to listen to the radio more often than 5-7 years ago, 24% - less often, and 17% of media consumption remained unchanged. Mostly young people do not listen to the radio - in the group of 18-24 year olds, the share of those who ignore it is 68%. The trend is confirmed by the data of the media meter. According to the Mediascope Radio Index, in July-December 2015, the Reach Daily of Russian radio stations in the 12-19 age group was 3.7 million people (that is, 72% of Russians of the specified age included daily radio). In January - June 2020, the accumulated daily number of listeners decreased to 3.1 million (56.6%). Reach Weekly decreased from 4.8 million (92.8%) to 4.3 million (78.5%). True, the remaining listeners noticeably increased their listening time: from 176 to 247 minutes per day. The most popular place to listen to the radio is personal vehicles (59%), and its share has remained virtually unchanged over the past 2 years. But the home environment lost 7 pp (34% in 2021 versus 41% in 2019). Every fifth Russian (22%) prefers to listen to the radio at work or school. The audience includes radio for music (77%), news (44%) and weather forecast (25%). Less popular are programs of the spoken genre - interviews, talk shows (20%) and scientific and educational programs (22%). The respondents named "Russian Radio", "Europe Plus", "Road Radio" (12% each) and radio "Dacha" (10%) as their favorite radio stations. The rest of the projects received less than 10% of the votes. It is noteworthy that a third (34%) of compatriots could not name the inventor of the radio. But the rest have no doubts about his domestic origin: 63% for Alexander Popov and only 1% for Italian Guglielmo Marconi.

But already in March, the museum will start celebrating the 100th anniversary of Radio in the USA. The industry anniversary celebration will kick off with a series of panel discussions and online events, according to Susie Schultz, the museum's executive director. A full-scale public exhibition will open at the end of May. The Radio Museum is run by an advisory board of scientists and industry professionals from across the US and Canada, Schultz said. "We want to show the business, science, power and influence of Radio," Schultz told Hannah Stanley and Fred Weintraub on The Hannah & Fred Show. Commercial broadcasting in the United States is believed to have begun on the night of November 2, 1920, when the Pittsburgh radio KDKA broadcast the results of the presidential election between Warren G. Harding and James M. Cox. Over the next two years, more than 500 licensed radio stations were already on the air in the United States. The Radio Broadcasting Museum in Chicago was founded in 1987.
