ABSTRACT
The story of NTV is an example of a complex campaign launched by the state agents and their non-state allies against a media company. While the story of Titan radio is much more dramatic in terms of people’s sufferings, this is a story of a successful defeat of the national private TV that was considered the national leader according to many criteria. Of course, there is no direct evidence about the role the government and Putin personally played in this story, but the chain of events makes this role obvious. That is why from the very beginning I treat this story as an anti-NTV campaign.
