In January, on the pages of the Russian
Rolling Stone, a selection of interviews will be published with prominent Runet-like “thousanders”. The elite of the domestic blogosphere —
apazhe ,
kbke ,
immoralist ,
mrparker, and others — recalls where it came from, how it was a success, how it is to rest on its laurels. Among these stories, two stand apart - they are told by Anton Nosik, SVO of the company
"Soup" , and Konstantin Rykov, head of
NewMedia Stars . Both figures are looking for a formula for capitalizing blog traffic, and their interests
overlap painfully when it comes to trial trials. At least, they position their relations as hostile.
It is noteworthy in the interview with Nosik that clarification that he gives to the circumstances of his conflict with Rykov: “This person is trying to illegally make money in LiveJournal. Rykov Agency provides paid services for placing PR and advertising on LiveJournal blogs. The service costs 400-500 bucks for the post. " Nosik adds that he is familiar with the “Rykovsky price list”, but he did not accept it. And so much so that “... on the basis of this price list, I can deny registration in the magazine. Legally, I have that right. ”
And this passage about legal law is rather annoying, especially in the context of recent unrest in LJ. Anton Nosik himself
refutes his authenticity, saying that the words attributed to him are taken out of context and grossly distorted, replacing their meaning with the opposite. He explains that he meant exactly the opposite when he spoke of this “legal right”: “... It may be that some such actions may be expected of me, but this is a misunderstanding, because I am not going to do anything like that, I will not close anyone , not my genre.

The opposition genre of "Soup" remained unchanged. Konstantin Rykov, answering questions from Rolling Stone, continues to be perplexed about the business strategy of "Soup": "Probably, they have some trump cards, but people cannot be considered as idiots." Rykov “reveals” with enthusiasm his own trump cards, pointing to the new project NewMedia Stars
“Sensor” - a new kind of “Media”, honed under blogs. Full interview versions can be read
in the kbke magazine .
