Novosti Nedeli

Novosti Nedeli (Hebrew: נובוסטי נדלי; Russian: Новости Недели, lit. News of the Week), sometimes shortened to Novosti, is an Israeli weekly newspaper geared at the Russian-speaking population of the country. Based in Tel Aviv, it is the oldest Russian-language weekly in Israel.

Novosti Nedeli started in 1989 by a group of olim from the Soviet Union. In 1990 it was purchased by a group of Israeli journalists, including Eli Azur.

The publication became a daily in 1990, and continued in this format until 2003. In 2008, it partnered with The Jerusalem Post , allowing it to translate some of the latter's articles in Russian.

In 2001, Novosti Nedeli covered the issue of fraud against Russian-speaking immigrants in Israel, leading to a special parliamentary session on the matter.

Multiple magazines have been attached to Novosti Nedeli, published by the same company. These include: Echo (Russian: Эхо), Luch (Russian: Луч) and Sekret (Russian: Секрет).

In 2003, the publication was sued by the publisher of Ogoniok , a Russian magazine, for plagiarizing 19 of its articles. Novosti Nedeli was ordered to pay a fine in 2007, totaling over ILS 315,000.^[1] In 2007, Novosti was handed a similar lawsuit by Kommersant , this time for ILS 4.64 million, for copying 232 articles.^[2]

Knesset members Nino Abesadze and Marina Solodkin worked for Novosti Nedeli. Russian-Israeli-American journalist Victor Topaller also wrote for the newspaper.
