Eksmo Publishing House Terminates Contract to Release Alex Leslie's Book About Oleg Deripaska and Nastya Rybka

The Eksmo publishing house has terminated the contract for the publication of Alex Leslie's (Alexander Kirillov) book "Go to Fish", which tells about the life of model Nastya Rybka (Anastasia Vashukevich) in Thailand and the conflict with Oleg Deripaska. This was reported by Dozhd with reference to the press service of the publishing house.

The publishing house's CEO, Evgeny Kapyev, told RBC that this decision was made after analyzing "the sales history of Leslie's previous books, various risks, and the commercial potential of Go to Fish."

Leslie himself told Baza that the book was being edited for three months, and during that time, references to Deripaska were removed from it - his last name was replaced everywhere with the word "oligarch" or the symbols "***".

The author has not yet decided what to do with the book. He added that he has already been rejected by a second publisher.
