As of Tuesday, programmes from the Voice of Russia will be available for owners of cellular phones. Voice of Russia Chairman Andrei Bystritsky explained that the Mobile Voice of Russia project made it possible to listen to VOR broadcasting in any part of the world with good-quality mobile re-translators.
The Mobile Voice of Russia project is mainly designed for those living in countries which have a sophisticated telecommunication network – something that will help them swiftly get relevant information about the latest developments in Russia and beyond. Right now, the Mobile Voice of Russia-related programmes in 17 languages are available for owners of smart phones which have the Windows Mobile operating system. The smart phone owners should first visit VOR’s website at www.ruvr.ru and download the special software which is needed to listen to the VOR’s mobile broadcasting. The software is distributed on a free-of-charge basis.
The beginning of next year will see more mobile gadgets and relevant operating systems used by listeners to listen to the Mobile Voice of Russia, which plans to start broadcasting in 39 languages before the end of 2010.

NB: Kraig, KG4LAC writes on the DX Listening Digest mailing list: October 17, 2009 around 2250 UTC I visited the Voice of Russia website to listen to “Moscow Mailbag” as I missed the shortwave broadcast. Immediately I got the warning “Auto-Protect has detected Trogan.Pidief.F”. It has a pdf extension. I have my browser set to NOT automatically open PDFs. I was also told the severity is high. My security blocked the trojan. I clicked a few other links at the Voice of Russia site and got the same warning about the same trojan. Be careful.
