Radio Sputnik is the successor to the Voice of Russia and Radio Moscow which used to have shortwave broadcasts. Clearly it was a mistake to rely on the Internet and close the HF outlets.
This applies to many countries who abandoned their shortwave transmitters, in particular Radio Nederland Wereldomroep (RNW) which was a fairly neutral broadcaster. This was very noticeable during the time of the "troubles" on the island of Ireland where news about the civil war was broadcast while the BBC remained silent.
