Like RT (which I posted videos from) Zvezda (TV channel) is the state run propaganda machine of Putin.
Zvezda is a Russian state-owned 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
Controversies
"Zvezda" describes itself as "patriotic" and is considered one of the most sensational and anti-Western news channels in Russia. It has a reputation for publishing biased news stories which favor the Russian government. It has published several controversial news articles in the past, for example:
Finnish military provocations started the Winter War
Czechoslovakia should be grateful for 1968.[4] After this publication caused significant controversy in Czech Republic, Dmitry Medvedev disavowed himself from the article, saying it's not reflecting the official Russian statement expressed in 1993 or 2006[5]
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".
