Nickelodeon (Russia)

Nickelodeon is a Russian language children's television channel launched on November 15, 1998, across the Post-Soviet states and formerly Russia.

The channel closed in Russia on 28 April, 2022 due to Paramount pausing operations in that country in response to the Ukraine invasion. Together to the Japanese version, they are currently Nickelodeon's only channels that have closed.

Why has it closed?

 * 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine: This is the only reason why it has closed, on February 24, 2022, an invasion between Russia and Ukraine began, so much so that some NATO nations such as the United States are sanctioning Russia, in addition to temporarily suspending some things like online services, television channels and payments in online stores, etc.

Probability of returning
It is very likely that it will return to the affected channels after the current conflict ends and Ukraine and Russia declare peace. The chances of returning are much higher than those channels that were replaced by others.

Paramount Global stated that it will be a temporary closure. Together with the closure of Nick Jr.'s Russian version, they become the first channel closures made by Paramount Global.
