No, the Jehovahs Witnesses were started by Joseph Rutherford. Rutherford created the Jehovah's Witnesses organization by rejecting the core teachings of Russell and The Bible Students. https://rlctr.blogspot.com/p/jws.html

What year did Charles taze Russell sart the jahovers witness church?

Charles Taze Russell did not start the Jehovah's Witnesses church in any year at all. The Jehovah's Witneses "church"/religion/organization did not come into existence until after Russell died. It was Joseph Rutherford who, after Russell died, created the organization that he, in 1931, named "Jehovah's Witnesses" in order to distinguish his organization from the general Bible Students groups. Russell, however, was a nonsectarian who preahed against the kind of organization that Rutherford later created. Russell believed that "the true church" could not be represented by any "outward organization" such the JW organization, and one could be a member of the true church irrespective of denominational lines. In a general way, one could say that the Bible Students movement came into existence as a result of Russell's works. Nevertheless, the majority of the Bible Students movement rejected Rutherford's new organization dogma, and thus the Bible Students in general never took the name "Jehovah's Witnesses".
