Evgeny YASIN, economist, scientific director of the State University - Higher School of Economics:
-- For me, the Moscow News brand means a lot. Under this name, the newspaper, led by Yegor Yakovlev, participated in the main events of the times of perestroika and democratic reforms. This time was extremely important for the fate of Russia. Any publication that takes on this brand also takes on considerable responsibility. Of course, the situation is changing, and social accents are changing. But in any case, we are talking about a banner or a symbol of a market economy and democratic reforms. The time of democratization, no matter what they say about it and no matter who resists it, is steadily approaching. The fate of the country is not decided on Manezhnaya Square; it depends on people who are able to understand the essence of events and open prospects for development.
