The Voice of America (VOA) has shut down its broadcasting to Russia.
The decision was made by the US Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) with the endorsement of Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy Karen Hughes.
Rather than fight for more funding to expand US broadcasting, Hughes (pictured) has gone along with the BBG's plans to cannibalize existing programming and transfer the resources to new high-priority areas such as the Middle East. Kommersant carries the report from Moscow.
