Russia announced Friday it would restore long-range patrols with its strategic bombers, something that hasn't happened since 1992.

Those Russians who would like to hear the BBC's Russian service broadcast on FM? Fuggedaboutit:

The broadcaster's last FM distribution partner in Russia, Bolshoye Radio, said it had been told to remove BBC content or risk being shut down.

Two other Russian FM stations have dropped BBC programming recently.

The BBC's Russian Service can still be heard online and on medium and short wave frequencies in Russia.
