Yup, just checked. Spanish now.
Some forty years ago sent away for a Radio Moscow schedule.
I wonder if I still have it in a box somewhere. And what I
recall most, beyond the primitive graphics and cheap paper,
is how the envelope the pamphlet came in had obviously been
opened and then resealed. The NSA ain't a new thing.
Of course, I can still pick up the Voice of Russia on my
wifi radio. And the NSA won't have to steam open anything to
keep up with news and entertainment appetite.

As I understand it The Voice Of Russia is no longer on WNSW
1430 in New York. The programming has been replaced by some
sort of Spanish religious format.

Ha! Must've still been too far from the transmitter when I
tried for it last time through there about a month ago. Had
a station in Spanish on that frequency, IIRC.

Not to quibble, but technically they're only kaput on
shortwave --- which I know for many here is a distinction
without a difference. However, those that wish to
continue to hear VOR programming can do so via the
internet platform (to which many shortwave broadcasters
have transitioned already) and a handful of HD2 or HD3 FM
stations in the U.S.

From the ARRL Letter...
/Milestones/: Voice of Russia -- Former "Radio
Moscow" -- to End Shortwave Broadcasts
Voice of Russia (VOR <http://english.ruvr.ru/>), the
former Radio Moscow during the USSR era, will cease
shortwave broadcasts as of January 1, 2014. From the
1950s through the 1980s, the station, as Radio
Moscow, was a virtual beacon for short-wave
listeners (SWLs), many of whom gravitated into
Amateur Radio. Voice of Russia currently broadcasts
to 160 countries in 38 languages for an aggregate
151 hours per day on short and medium waves, on FM,
via satellite, and via the Internet. Earlier this
year shortwave transmissions were cut to 26 hours a
day in all languages, down from more than 50 hours a
day in 2012.
VOR, which claims to be the first radio station to
broadcast internationally, will continue to
broadcast online and via three medium-wave
transmitters. In 2003 VOR was among the first major
international radio broadcasters to launch daily
broadcasts to Europe in Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM
<http://www.drm.org/>).
As a result of a decree signed earlier this month by
Russian President Vladimir Putin, the Voice of
Russia radio company officially ceased to exist on
December 9 and merged with several other state-run
news agencies as part of /Rossia Segodnya/, a
Russia-based international news service. Putin's
decree also abolished the State Fund of Television
and Radio Programs, placing it under control of
All-Russia State Television and Radio Broadcasting
Company.
