According to
the Political Council news agency, the last issue of
the Business newspaper will be released on December 22. The publication is closed, because the deal between the owner of the newspaper and the buyer, the
publishing house Sekret Firmy and the
Rodionov Publishing House , has not finally taken place.
“The deal fell through,” a source in the Secret of the Firm told the agency. “Rodionov was not satisfied with the proposed parameters of the advertising budget.” The last hope of “Business” could become an investor Alisher Usmanov, who recently acquired the
Kommersan Publishing House , but he didn’t need another business publication. “The newspaper does not interest Mr. Usmanov,” confirms the source.
According to unofficial data, in recent years, the losses of the newspaper “Business” amounted to about $ 5 million. At the same time, the purchase transaction was estimated at about $ 6 million.
