Usmanov recently bought the Kommersant.
Kommersant, one of Russia's leading business dailies and a rare outlet for criticism of the government, has reportedly been sold to Kremlin-connected metals magnate Alisher Usmanov.
"It's possible that not every detail of the deal has been completed, but it can be talked about as an established fact," said Kommersant general director Demyan Kudryavtsev, the news agency Interfax reported.
Usmanov, who heads a subsidiary of state gas monopoly Gazprom and is considered loyal to the Kremlin, was quoted by Interfax as saying he had paid 299 million dollars (233 million euros) for the paper's publishing house, which prints the Kommersant daily and several related magazines.
Take a look at The eXile annual report:
Dear Shareholders, Teammates and Friends,
As the longtime CEO of the eXile, I want to take this opportunity to update you on our financial and strategic progress.
First of all, as you all know, we plan to list soon on the London Stock Exchange, once the last legal hurdles and challenges are overcome. We believe that the listing should raise the eXile enough capital to massively upgrade our capability to purchase mother-daughter whore teams on a weekly basis, while still maintaining enough cash flow to underpay our staff, if we pay them at all. At the same time, we believe that the various lawsuits, civil cases, and threats to our lives and business are completely frivolous and do not affect the bottom line. However, I want to point them out so that later, just in case, I can say, "Toldja so! Shoulda listened!"
Let me turn to our most recent financial results. Somehow, the eXile is still operating, even though we have no idea how. This is good news, because it means that operations are stable, and in line with the cutting-edge accounting and management practices that we have used over the past 9 years to great effect, demonstrating that we are meeting the needs of readers everywhere.
Last quarter, we reported revenues of, uh:wait, we actually haven't done the numbers, but, well, hey:hey, look over there! Naked chicks, 10 o'clock!
Gotta go!
Poka!
