Tigran Edmondovich Keosayan (Armenian: Տիգրան էդմոնդի Քեոսայան, Russian: Тигран Эдмондович Кеосаян; 4 January 1966 – 26 September 2025) was a Russian movie director, actor and television presenter. His works were often called pro-Russia and pro-Putin propaganda.[1][2][3]

Career

Keosayan anchored the daily analytical talk show With Tigran Keosayan on the Russian private TV channel REN-TV.[4]

He won many movie festival prizes including TEFI, Kinotavr, and Window to Europe Film Festival [ru] 2001.[5]

After the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Keosayan was one of the people sanctioned by the European Union.[6][7] This was because Keosayan was spreading anti-Ukrainian propaganda.[8]

Personal life and death

He was married to Margarita Simonyan, the editor-in-chief of the Russian state-controlled broadcaster RT,[9][10][11] as well as the state-owned media group Rossiya Segodnya.[12]

In December 2024, Keosayan had a heart attack and was later put in a coma.[13] He died on 26 September 2025 at a hospital in Moscow, Russia at the age of 59.[14][15][16]
