Background: In 1991 Irena Lesnevskaya and her son Dmitriy founded REN TV, an independent production company, called after Irena Lesnevskaya. The first programme, "Irony of Fate, or Merry Christmas!" was broadcasted on December 24, 1991. In 1996 Irena bought a TV franchise and the company became TV channel. In 2006 it was partially sold to German RTL Group, while other 70% are still owned by Russian industry holdings. Later that year the name was changed to cyrillic and finally the "tv" was omitted in 2007.

Logo: On the black BG with stars two flashing arches and a planet appear and become rotating counterclockwise. When they stops, flashing tv letters appears and stands between arches in the upper right part of forming circle. The flashing REN word appears from top and zooms out to the logo. All the logo zooms out and the word ПРЕДСТАВЛЯЕТ gets up from bottom.
