Russian World Studios
At the end of 2007 RWS joined JSFC "Sistema", the largest diversified holding company in Russia. This new partnership has allowed RWS to focus on three main areas of growth: studio facilities, including the expansion of the new St. Petersburg studio; production, including the expansion and efficient use of the content library; and distribution of content across current and emerging media platforms.
In 2012, after being located on the premises of former automotive giant ZIL for decades, RWS decided to open another studio in St. Petersburg.
