Novy Vzglyad (Russian: Новый Взгляд, literally New Look or New View) is a weekly newspaper published in Moscow, Russia. It used to be well known for its commentaries on politics and social issues in the 1990s.
It was founded in early 1992 by VID (originally created as a voice for the TV show with the same name). Kirsan Ilyumzhinov bought the newspaper and merged it with another journal. It is owned by him and former TV host (of Vzglyad show) Yevgeny Dodolev.
Once a weekly, the Novy Vzglyad is now published 45 times per year, seven issues covering two-week spans.
Like most weekly newspapers, circulation at Novy Vzglyad has been declining for many years. Advertising revenue has been declining at rates between 10% to 20% annually in recent years.Novy Vzglyad employs approximately 50 employees, down from over 200 at its peak (1995–1998).
The newspaper is in financial straits.
Although the Novy Vzglyad never lost its touches of humor, it soon established itself as a pre-eminent forum for serious journalism. On issues of civil rights and individual liberties, it is consistently liberal. The most prominent Russian writers wrote for the publication, including Vitaly Korotich, Alexander Prokhanov, Valeriya Novodvorskaya, Eduard Limonov and his spouse Natalya Medvedeva (which introduced herself as Novy Vzglyad representative in Paris).
Novy Vzglyad has a long track record of creating scandals, earning itself the moniker "Dirtdigger" (in Russian, Грязекопатель). Printing some comments were deemed "hooliganism" by the Moscow deputy prosecutor, who, despite Dodolev's independence from state bureaucracies tried to pressure the newspaper out of business in 1993 and 1994.
Berezovsky had tried to talk him into assassinating Vladimir Gusinsky, Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov, singer and Duma deputy Joseph Kobzon, and others (Novy Vzglyad newspaper, 19 October 1996).
