Friends!
The redesign we've been talking about for so long has happened. And we are very happy about this.
Firstly, because promises must be kept - and we promised you a long time ago that a new version would be published. It took some work, but here it is in front of you.
Secondly, because our site belongs to you, its readers. And you should be comfortable using it. See the entire volume of daily publications. Scroll through photo galleries. Move from section to section. Read the most read and view the newest. Search for memorable materials. Now it will be much easier to do all this.
And the last thing: all this year COLTA.RU existed in a visual mode that is natural for a blog, and not for a large daily site, which we tend to think of ourselves as. Many people managed to get used to it, but we ourselves felt a little cramped. Now we are restoring justice. COLTA.RU has retained the internal structure that you remember from the old OpenSpace, and today we continue to work in the same - multi-deck - mode. Our thematic sections (“Cinema”, “Art”, “Music”, “Literature”, “Theater”, “Media”, “Society”) are waiting for their regular readers. And, of course, we are also very much looking forward to new readers.
The big experiment that our editors started more than a year ago continues. COLTA.RU managed to exist all this time on its own power: without owners, without investors, without the state. All we need to live happily ever after is you, friends. Stay with us!
