Lenta.ru
RussiaLenta.ru is a Russian-language online news publication based in Moscow, founded in 1999 and part of the Rambler&Co media group. Its headlines centre on the United States and Russia, followed by Ukraine, Iran, NATO and Germany, and are mostly about politics and security, with diplomacy by far the largest sector. Its stance reads as favourable toward the Russian government and its officials, skeptical toward Ukraine, NATO and the European Union, and neutral toward the United States.
Political leaning and stance
Across the measured period, the outlet is consistently favourable toward Russia, Vladimir Putin, Sergei Lavrov, Maria Zakharova, Dmitry Medvedev and Dmitry Peskov, leading headlines with their statements and using no distancing verbs; Belarus and Alexander Lukashenko are treated the same way. It is skeptical toward Ukraine and Volodymyr Zelensky, hostile in one stretch and neutral in others, and skeptical toward NATO, the European Union and German leadership. The United States is neutral to mildly skeptical, and Donald Trump neutral to favourable. Stance is measured from headlines toward countries and persons; it is not a rating of accuracy.
Based on headlines from February 2026 to August 2026.
