Scope of this corpus
This corpus is based on all contents published in the “news” section of the website archive.premier.gov.ru as it was available online in early 2024.
Users should be aware that broadly for the same period (specifically, the time during which Vladimir Putin was prime minister) a separate website for the government was maintained, and its archived version is still available online at archive.government.gov.ru.

Narrative explanation of how this corpus has been created
This corpus has been built based on index pages of the event “news” section, retrieving links starting with the earliest publication.
Links to photo, video, and audio pages have been removed, only textual contents have been kept.
Text and metadata have been extracted from the resulting pages.
Duplicates
Some items have been posted on the same date, with the same title, and with the same text under different urls (but the same numeric component in the url, here recorded as internal_id). In such cases, duplicates have been removed.
Items with title but no text
There are 0 items with title, but no text. These are kept in the dataset, as the title may still offer relevant contents.
