By using a VPN and connecting to a Russian server, you can watch Russian TV in any country as long as you have an internet connection. This is the case even if the content is geo-restricted and only otherwise accessible in Russia. If, after connecting to a server, you still encounter issues, try clearing your browser’s cache and cookies.
A Russian IP address allows you to access all sorts of state-owned Russian TV channels, including Russia 1, NTV and Match TV. You’ll also be able to unblock popular Russian streaming services such as ivi and Okko. The best VPNs with servers in countries such as the USA and UK also let you access streaming services such as Netflix US, BBC iPlayer, and Amazon Prime Video.
