The editor of The New Times, Evgeny Albats, will become its publisher. This was reported in an interview with Radio Liberty, the current publisher Irena Lesnevskaya. “I gave it to my wife,” said Lesnevskaya. “Now I will draw up all the documents.”

The 71-year-old Lesnevskaya explained such a decision by the fact that "challenged its own magazine." According to her, she moved away from active work eight to nine months ago and Albats actually performed not only her own duties, but also the functions of the publisher.

At the same time, Lesnevskaya confirmed the information that Albats recently submitted a dismissal application. Lesnevskaya noted that over four years of work, Glavred wrote about 15 such statements. “It is stormy, noisy, with a heavy character, unbridled, insanely fundamental and honest and very decent,” said Lesnevskaya about her main editor.

“Naturally. She's really tired,” the publisher commented on the latest statement by Albats about leaving. “And now I am persuading her to leave for 10 days to relax, but now it will not work, a little later.”

Lesnevskaya added that she had been thinking for a long time whether to sign Albatz this time. As a result, she decided not to do this. “To make such a gift to the Kremlin, to shoot Zhenya Albats with his own hand ...” - the publisher explained.

On Monday, the Russian Planet website announced the upcoming dismissal of Albats . The publication was referred to the unnamed employees of The New Times, as well as to sources in other media. According to the journal’s employees, on September 2, they were announced that the nearest number was the last one that was released under the Glavred Albats.

Lesnevskaya in a conversation with a correspondent of the "Russian planet" dodged a certain answer to the question of the departure of the chief credit. “I still can’t confirm,” she remarked. Albats herself categorically refused to comment. “I'm not going to talk to you on this topic,” she said. At the same time, the journalist asked who exactly the “Russian planet” received a message about her resignation.

Later, the editor -in -chief of The New Times wrote on her Twitter: "What is the" Russian Planet "? Another Lifenews?"

The next day, Lesnevskaya denied information about the dismissal of Albats , calling them nonsense. “These conversations are not even worth attention and comments,” she said.

The New Times was founded in 1943 under the name "New Time". The current name received in 1998. In 2007, Lesnevskaya bought a magazine and became its publisher. Albats came to the post of editor -in -chief in January 2009.
