History

Gazeta.Ru was launched in 1999 as a project with the Foundation for Effective Politics (rus. Фонд эффекти́вной поли́тики) under the leadership of Anton Nosik. In February 1999 the first publication was published.[5][6] In September 1999 the publications Vesti.ru and Lenta.ru were created, and the brand Gazeta.ru was sold to the company Yukos, which created a new edition under the leadership of former editor-in-chief of the daily business newspaper Kommersant, Vladislav Borodulin. After its time under Vladislav Borodulin [ru] who owned 100% of the stock, Gazeta.Ru was sold to Sekret Firmy in 2005, a publishing house owned by Alisher Usmanov since 2006. In 2005 Aleksandr Pisarev served as chief editor for one year.[7]

He was replaced by Michail Michailjn who held its position till 2010.[8] Then Michail Kotow became chief editor, but he left Gazeta.ru in 2013, because he didn’t agree with the power shift in the newspaper.[9]

In 2012 Alisher Usmanov sold his interest in SUP Media to Alexander Mamut. In 2013 companies SUP Media and Rambler-Afisha were united in the Combined company Afisha.Rambler.SUP (from 2014 Rambler&Co).[10][11]

In 2013 Svetlana Lolaeva, a member of staff since 2007, served as chief editor and, in the same year, was replaced by Svetlana Babaeva, a former employee of Izvestia and RIA Novosti. In 2016 Olga Alekseevna was announced as chief editor.[12][13]
