History
Interpreter Mag (I.M.) was founded by the Atlantic Council, a nonpartisan organization that promotes cooperation between the United States and Europe. I.M. was established to translate articles from the Russian press into other languages. Its stance has changed significantly since then, according to its About page: “Little did we realize then that the Interpreter would devote as much energy to covering what the Russian Federation got up to outside of its own borders.”
