Russian Universities was a Russian educational television channel that existed from 1992 to 1996.
It was initially Programme Four of Soviet Central Television, which, upon the dissolution of the USSR, was transferred to Channel 4 Ostankino (closed in 1994); while Russian Universities started broadcasting on a part-time basis on its frequencies from 1992 to 1996.
It was shut down on 10 November 1996, enabling NTV to expand its broadcasting hours.
