"Business" is not sold - the buyer is gone

The Rodionov Publishing House refused to buy the newspaper “Business” owned by the Publishing House “Sekret Firmy” , according to Vedomosti . According to Alexei Volin, president of the Publishing House Rodionov, partners from the “Secret of the Firm” could not provide independent audit data on the economy of the publication. “And these figures on the expected amount of advertising collection - $ 2.5 million - did not find confirmation from independent experts,” said Volin. “In addition, they did not provide us with any advertising payments and did not extend the contract with the printing house for 2007.”

Recall, the Sekret Firmy publishing house was recently bought by businessman Alisher Usmanov, who owns the Kommersan publishing house . Since “Business” automatically remains in the assets of its previous owner, the question arises of the structure of the merger of Kommersant and the Secret of the Firm. “But Kommersant does not need Business,” the newspaper notes.
