The annual amount paid by agents of the Russian government to air the pro-Putin programming of Radio Sputnik on two small American-owned stations, one in the Washington, D.C., area (WZHF) and the other in the Kansas City area (KCXL). The amount works out to be 154.1 billion Russian rubles at their current hyper-deflated exchange rate. The National Association of Broadcasters has called on both stations to stop airing the Russian-backed propaganda immediately.
