Few Religious Russian language channels air on IA-5.
There are channels from other countries that use Russian or partically Russian languages or languages Russians can understand (e.g Ukranian or Belarusan).
As I know from my friends in Europe they watch Ajara TV that been seemed on IA-5. Recently Ukranian music channel 1+1 International been announced on IA-5 too.
LYNGSAT shows a bunch (about 11) of free Ukranian channels from Amos 2.

Theese channels are available in Europe. But footprint for AMOS 2 shows very strong beam to Eastern USA and theese channels supposed to be viewed here.

Eastern side of my house is hidden by big trees so i couldn't test this satellite. This satellite also is about only 6 degrees over the horizon in New York.
I (and lot of my ukranian friends) would be appreciate if Sadoun test theese channels and add this satellite to SATHAWK 3000.

Also there is sence to add Express A3 at 11.0°W

or
http://www.satcodx9.com/3490/usa/
Because Perviy kanal Vsemirny and RTR-Planeta are most popular channels in Russia. I would spend about $500 extra to have possibility view these channels.
Can I (and lot of my friends) get theese channels with FORTEC STAR 240 Dish in New York (and Florida too!)? Or we need bigger dish?
Footprints for this satellite is

Are you talking about Russia Today (RT)?

Just do a blind search on IA5 satellite.

It will show up.

Nope.. He is talking about Channel 1 (Russia)

Can ONLY get it via subscription from DirecTV....

(used to be on DISH Network in the past.. but then left to DirecTV)

Yah, Russia Today is a good news channel, mainly about Russian news.. few international news stories, I guess... but it being FTA is great! heh

Russia Today is a good quality Russian news channel in English. Russian propaganda for foreigners, but it's FTA!
I’m getting also 3 religious channels in Russian (not Orthodox!) form the same Galaxy 25 satellite. These channels - sucks!

Why, lol.. ?

Just cuz you don' believe in what they believe (or claim to...)?
