Natalya Vladimirovna Sindeyeva (Russian: Наталья Владимировна Синдеева, IPA: [nɐˈtalʲjə sʲɪnˈdʲejɪvə]; born 11 June 1971) is a Russian journalist, founder, main owner and chief executive officer of the TV Rain media holding,[1][2] which includes the TV Rain channel, the Republic.ru online magazine and the Big City [ru] magazine.

After school she received a specialty "teacher of elementary grades and mathematics" at the Michurinsk State Pedagogical Institute (MGPI).

In addition, Silver Rain gained an audience via the Internet and the concept of "music non-stop" was introduced by Sindeyeva.

[12] Since 2007, Natalya Sindeyeva has been developing the TV Rain media holding, which includes the channel of the same name, as well as the Republic.ru publication and the Big City [ru] magazine.

Aleksandr Vinokurov is an investor in all three projects, but legally Sindeyeva alone owns Republic and Big City; in the TV Rain channel she has 95% (another 5% for Vera Krichevskaya).

The TV channel accounted for almost 66% — 285 million rubles, the Slon.ru portal (created in 2009) — 20%, the rest – the magazine and website Bolshoi Gorod (acquired in 2010).

[15] Upon nation-wide crackdown of independent media in the country in time of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the channel was blocked by Roskomnadzor.

The following day, a law against "fake news" (intended to criminalize comments from independent media sources) was passed in the Russian parliament.

[25] In 2004, Sindeyeva became a laureate of the Media Manager of Russia award in the Radio category — "for innovative and non-standard approaches to the station's off-air promo campaigns".
