For other uses of Star TV, see Star TV (disambiguation).
Zvezda (Russian: Звезда, literally, "The Star") is a Russian nationwide TV network run by the Russian Ministry of Defense. As of January 2008, Zvezda's CEO was Grigory Krichevsky, previously known for his work on Vladimir Gusinsky's NTV Channel in the late 1990s.
During the 2008 pre-election debates on the Zvezda TV Vladimir Zhirinovsky insulted Andrei Bogdanov's campaign manager and ordered his bodyguards to "take him away and shoot him".[1] This was one of the most notorious incidents during an otherwise lacklustre campaign.
