History Prior to the establishment of Tyumenskaya Pravda Segodnya, was the largest newspaper in the region. It was jointly controlled by the Tyumen government along with the Khanty-Mansi and Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrugs. During a conflict regarding the degree of the Okrugs' autonomy, Tyumenskaya Pravda suffered financial hardship and the Tyumen governor, Leonid Roketsky, proposed to establish an outlet not subordinate to the Okrugs' leadership. Shortly after, Tyumenskaya Pravda Segodnya was launched, led by former employees of Tyumenskaya Pravda.

The outlet was renamed to Tyumenskaya oblastʹ segodnya in 2002. In 1998, it had 5,000 subscribers and a circulation of 10,000. The latter grew to 100,000 in 2008.
