*The Moscow Times is an English-language daily newspaper published in Moscow since 1992. The newspaper is typically given out for free at places English-language "expats" attend, including hotels, cafés and restaurants, as well as being available by subscription.
Until 2005 the paper was owned by Independent Media, a Moscow-registered publishing house, which also prints a Russian-language daily newspaper, Vedomosti, and Russian-language versions of popular glossy magazines such as FHM, Men's Health and Cosmopolitan. In 2005, Independent Media was acquired by the Dutch-Finnish publishing group Sanoma. (Information from Wikipedia)
