Leontyev: The dismissal of bald is not related to the claims of "Rosneft"

Rosneft Vice President Mikhail Leontyev does not connect the dismissal of the editor-in-chief of Vedomosti with a recent claim of the oil company against the newspaper. He stated this Gazeta.ru.

“We are judged with a number of publications, and if every fact of the court - and even more so losing to us - caused personnel changes, we would be very pleased. But there is no such mechanism, unfortunately,” Leontyev said.

According to him. Recently, the “Vedomosti” ”was literally poisoned by Rosneft with increasing force.

“I have no reason to think that with the departure of the ski edition of the publication will change,” said Leontyev.

On Wednesday, Tatyana Lysova informed the Board of Directors about the intention of the end of the first quarter of 2017 to leave the post of chief editor.

“I have children schoolchildren, and most of their life they saw mom only in the morning and on weekends. This is bad for them and for me. It's time to pay more attention to them while they still need it, ”said Lysova. She assured that this was exclusively her initiative, for which there are no external or internal corporate reasons.

Possible candidates for the post of new editor -in -chief of Vedomosti at a meeting of the Council were not discussed. Lysova has no suggestions about another work. “We have enough time ahead to find a good new editor -in -chief for Vedomosti and I find new application to your forces,” she said.
