13.01.2026 ⇢ The Day of the Novokuznetsk Infant Deaths
⌨Russian editorial priorities on January 13 shifted from geopolitical saber-rattling to a domestic tragedy in Novokuznetsk, where the deaths of nine newborns at a maternity hospital triggered criminal investigations and the dismissal of the facility’s head physician. State and independent outlets tracked the story from early morning confirmations to the transfer of the case to the central Investigative Committee by late afternoon.
Simultaneously, editors focused on a significant escalation in the Middle East. Following the previous day’s threats, Russian media reported on President Trump’s 25% tariff on Iran’s trade partners and his afternoon call for Iranian citizens to seize government buildings. This was framed by state outlets as a Western-backed 'color revolution.'
In the Black Sea, reporting centered on Ukrainian drone strikes hitting Kazakh oil tankers near the CPC terminal. Editors paired this with extensive coverage of retaliatory Russian strikes that reportedly caused a near-total blackout in Kyiv, maintaining the narrative of technological and military response.
