Several journalists, including Maxim Kononenko, Vladimir Mamontov and Tina Kandelaki, wrote columns for Vzglyad.

[1] In 2013, Alexander Shmelev, the former editor-in-chief of the newspaper (2007-2008), stated that after the parliamentary and presidential elections of 2007 and 2008, "it was then that we found ourselves at the forefront of this campaign, and it was through us that the toughest propaganda materials passed, as a result of which the word 'Vzglyad' itself became negative in blogs and social networks"[4] and that the work of the site was supervised at monthly intervals by Rykov and then by Alexei Chesnakov, the deputy head of the internal policy department of the Russian President.

Since August 17, 2017, the publication has been under the control of the Expert Institute for Social Research, which is associated with the Russian Presidential Administration headed by Anton Vaino.

In March 2020, Vzglyad published an article by media manager Alexander Malkevich, who has been called a "Russian troll" and who has been sanctioned by the US Government for interference in American elections,[7] accusing Wikipedia editorial staff of an information war against Russia.

Malkevich claimed that the deletion of an article "Sale of the administration of Russian-speaking Wikipedia" in Wikipedia (according to Malkevich the article was deleted as vandalism), created by the pro-government project "Anti-Propaganda" was evidence of this "information war".
