The station being broadcast is NTV (you can see its logo at bottom left). RMM have added their logo and explanatory captions over the original broadcast.
Arguably, NTV is not State TV either (it's controlled by Gazprom Media) and has in the past been critical of a certain national figure's decisions; lately, however, it has been well and truly on-message.
