Former employees of the Russian state-funded propaganda outlet, RT America, are making a comeback at the outlet’s previous studio in Washington, D.C., according to Axios.
The downtown office is now occupied by previous RT America employee Georgy Zalevskiy’s new company, GlobalTek LLC, per a report from the outlet.
The new company was formed a month after RT America shut down on account of “unforeseen business interruption events,” a memo from the time read. DirecTV and Roku pulled the broadcast from their respective networks following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“Some people who worked for RT America work for GlobalTek,” Zalevskiy confirmed to the outlet. He didn’t name anyone. He also refused to name any of the company’s clients. “RT is gone forever,” he said.

RT America also had offices in New York, Los Angeles, and Miami before it permanently laid off its workforce. RT America is headquartered in Moscow and broadcasts in over a hundred countries, according to its social media pages.
Despite its shutdown last year, the company remained active on Twitter for its over 3 million followers. Twitter has since labeled the profile as “Russia state-affiliated media.”
GlobalTek LLC still has active job listings online, but it remains to be seen when it will come live on air.
