The editors of Russia’s top business news, in line with Monday’s resignation against what they described as censor sending under owner, as a months-long dispute between newspapers and control reached its climax.
Vedomosti is one of Russia’s last primary independent newspapers, where hounds are subject to restrictions on press freedom and the Kremlin.
Critics of the Kremlin said the exodus of top logical publishers had given the voice of death to Vedomaximumi in its current incarnation.
“The five deputy editors of Vedomosti are leaving the paper according to the appointment of Andrei Shmarov as editor-in-chief,” the newspaper said.
Boris Safronov, one of the editors he resigned, told AFP that he believed that “the old Vedomosti pass would be able to be soon.”
Launched in 1999, Vedomosti co-founded and co-owner through Dutch businessman Derk Sauer Independent Media, the London-based Financial Times and the American business newspaper The Wall Street Journal.
Like the Financial Times, published on salmon paper.
The news has been replaced several times since its first edition, as lawmakers presented foreign laws to the Russian media.

In March, his editors and editors were shaken through a statement through the then owner, Demyan Kudryavtsev, that he planned to sell the newspaper.
Shmarov, 65, appointed acting editor in interim the similar month, before the sale ended.
The newspaper, consistent with the event’s best friend, was sold to the head of a little-known regional news firm called FederalPress, Ivan Yeryomin.
The drafters of Vedomosti denounced the sending of censorship under Shmarov, saying that his appointment was political.
They complain that they were not allowed to hide President Vladimir Putin’s negative opinion polls and that Shmarov interfered with the canopy of oil giant Rosneft, led through Putin’s top productive ally, Igor Sechin.
In an open letter published through The Bell, an independent Russian news site, the five editors said they were leaving after Shmarov appeared as editor-in-chief.

“As acting editor-in-chief, he ran the newsroom for about 3 months and controlled the continued breach of editorial criteria and rules followed at Vedomosti that time,” they said.
“We’ve still selected to go.”
The new owner said he was sure the news was compatible with the “h8 professional standards”.
While the daily economic and advertising news, its editorial segment has become too critical a hoax for dissenting voices and the debate about political life in Russia.
His hounds have complained several times to Shmarov’s owners and have recently put forward an alternate candidate to run the newspaper.
Although nearly 70 staff members backed a long-serving colleague to be editor-in-chief, the owners went ahead with the appointment of Shmarov, they said.
Outgoing publishers have been publishing news consistently for about five years or more.
An investigation through several Russian media, adding Vedomosti, in May concluded that Rosneft had taken credit for the newspapers through debts earned through Kudryavtsev on the oil giant’s bank.
On Monday, Kremlin critics praised Vedomosti for fighting for editorial independence to the end.
“Vedomosti RIP,” Moscow MEP Yulia Galyamina said on Twitter.
Anna Kachkaeva, a medium that is inconsistent with the Graduate School of Economics, said the release of top logic editors marked the end of the news in its current form.
“The Vedomosti pass can be published, but it may be another newspaper,” he told the AFP.
“I sincerely hope that the team will have the opportunity to follow their own project.”
In May 2019, the entire political workplace of Russian business newspaper Kommersant, a rival of Vedomosti, resigned procheck on censorship.
