What's good for a Russian...
The German media concern Axel Springer is trying to sell its Russian division, Axel Springer Russia, which publishes Russian versions of Forbes, Newsweek and OK! magazines. As Kommersant writes, the Germans are negotiating with several companies at once. Axel Springer in Russia is in a difficult situation: a concern specializing in the production of mass-market newspapers publishes a glossy magazine here. And “political risks” can lead to a dead end: the murder of Forbes editor-in-chief Paul Klebnikov, the scandal with the article about Elena Baturina.
