The director of the Dozhd TV channel (included in the register of media-foreign agents) was the Dutch media manager Dirk Sauer, reports RT with reference to the documents of a new legal entity registered in December 2022. According to the channel, Mr Sauer “will be the real investor and actual owner” of Dozhd.
RT writes that the authorized capital of the Dutch company TVR Studios BV, which represents Dozhd in Europe, amounted to €1,000. Natalia Sindeeva is the sole owner (recognized as a foreign agent). According to an RT source, all Dozhd employees have already moved to the Netherlands.
In Russia, Dozhd has been blocked since March 2022 at the request of the Prosecutor General’s Office. The TV channel then started broadcasting from Latvia, but in December the Latvian National Electronic Media Council of Latvia annulled rain license. This happened after the presenter Alexei Korostelev expressed his hope on the air that the channel could help with “elementary amenities at the front” of the Russian mobilized. The Latvian regulator considered this to be support for the Russian army. After that, the editorial decided move to Amsterdam. In January 2023 “Rain” received license to broadcast in the Netherlands.
