Alena Doletskaya, former editor-in-chief of Vogue magazine, will head the editorial staff of Interview magazine, which will be published in Russia at the end of 2011. This was reported in a press release from the Interview publishing house, received by Lenta.ru.

The American magazine Interview, founded in 1969 by artist Andy Warhol, has not yet been published in the European market. Following the launch of the Russian version of the magazine in 2012, Interview Germany will appear, which will also be headed by Doletskaya.

Joanne Furnis, who previously served as editor-in-chief of Arena Homme Plus magazine, has been invited to the position of fashion director for both publications. The guest art director will be Tim McIntyre, who previously worked at the American Interview.

The press release notes that both teams - Moscow and Berlin - have already begun work on the publication and website of the magazine. Subsequently, the publishing house plans to publish the magazine in other European countries.

Since its launch, the American magazine Interview has predominantly published interviews with musicians, artists, cultural figures and directors. At the same time, both pop stars and underground artists were published on the pages of the magazine. Interviews were usually published in their original form, without editing.

The Interview publishing house was founded by Vladislav Doronin’s Capital Group together with the general
Bernd Runge, director of the Phillips de Pury auction house. The American edition is published by Brant Publications of billionaire Peter Brant.

Alena Doletskaya served as editor-in-chief of the fashion magazine Vogue from 1997 to 2010. Before that, she worked for the BBC radio company, as well as for the German television channel RTL. After Doletskaya, Victoria Davydova was appointed editor-in-chief of Vogue, who came from Tatler.
