ABOUT US

Explainer is a team of independent journalists from Russia. We make complex economic and political processes clear, relying on facts and professional standards.

We publish materials based on verified data and systemic analysis: investigations of corruption and crimes, studies of international disinformation and propaganda networks, reports on the work of public institutions, and exposés of military fakes.

Our news project is the Telegram channel “Mozhem ob’yasnit’” (“We Can Explain”). Since the start of the war, it has become one of the key sources of verified information and has gathered almost half a million subscribers in three years. Independent investigative journalists, as well as specialists in OSINT and open-source data analysis, have joined Explainer.

In 2025, we launched the Explainer media platform — a space for investigations, analysis, interviews, and in-depth reports. We moved from the format of an anonymous Telegram channel to working openly under our own names and take professional responsibility for every publication.
