History

In 2008 "Chastny Korrespondent" was officially registered in Rospechat.[4]

Ivan Zassoursky founded Chastny Korrespondent and served as chief editor till 2011. He was replaced by Yulia Eydel, previously a columnist in the "Society" and "Exotica" departments, who served as chief editor till 2014.[5][6]

"Chastny Korrespondent" became a beta-partner with Facebook at the time Social graph was introduced. The materials used include editions and reprints of collections of blogs, excerpts of books, reprints from trade publications, but most of the articles are written by authors who have sent their texts to Chaskor. Chaskor is not involved in the systems of banner and link exchanges. All the articles pass through the editorial.[3][7]

Chastny Korrespondent has no base or office and communicates by mail.[8] Most of the articles are written by authors who send their texts to Chaskor.[9]
