So, Vitaly Sych, who has been in charge of the editorial office of the weekly magazine "Korrespondent" for more than 10 years, has headed a new media project. The first issue, 66 pages of which we have already flipped through, goes on sale on May 16 through the Press Kissoks network of the Soyuzpechat agency. The impression is good. Good from the quality of the work of the people who prepared the publication. And those who wrote and edited, and those who were engaged in design and layout, and those who printed. In general, the first pancake is not lumpy. It can be seen that the guys diligently prepared the premiere.

In terms of the nature of the materials and the format of the press, Novoye Vremya is in many ways reminiscent of the team's first offspring. Although there is certainly no complete identity. However, those who are familiar with the "Korrespondent" and shared the views and approaches to writing the materials of its former edition will find enough in common.

Editorial, issue theme, as you can see from the illustration, is dedicated to the most topical issue of the last month - the situation in Donbass. Author, renowned economist Alexander Paskhover, turned to the question of how Putin, with the help of the ex-president of Ukraine Yanukovych, is rocking the conflict in the Donbass. I was hooked by an unbiased analysis, which was made by this very tolerant and observant person. To be honest, in the overheated atmosphere of the overheated information field, I often lack balanced material from the hottest point of the last month. I will also note a few publications that I immediately drew attention to.

IN section "Week"Elena Geda publishes an interview with Oleksandr Usyk. The first questions of the correspondent of the magazine to the boxer from Simferopol were devoted to the Crimea and the difficulties that Alexander faced after the annexation of the peninsula. In the same section, the magazine collected the opinions of well-known people in Ukraine as far as they Crimean peninsula is lost in terms of personal recreation.

IN section "Country" in addition to Paskhover's article, placed on the first page of the cover, materials were published in Odessa after May 2 and, twists and turns pre-election races for the presidency of Ukraine. About Odessa, again, it was important for me to find out the impressions of a person with an unwashed look. The opinions of the inhabitants of Odessa, of course, are also very important, especially since the author often refers to them. But I would like to hear impressions from the outside. And thanks for that Anastasia Bereza.

IN section "People"Maxim Butchenko publishes a confession Wladimir Klitschko about what you have experienced lately. And sports. And Maidan. About brother. About how what was happening in the country forced me to engage in social activities. About the relationship with Hayden, of course, and much more.

Finally, I want to say a few words to the staff of the magazine from our editorial staff. Thank you for your honest work. I wish further fruitful work and a strong rear, as well as long life for Novoye Vremya in a happy country. With the initiative of you, colleagues.

Editor-in-Chief of LLC "Mediasoyuz", Oleg Ilyushko

On November 28, the last issue of the socio-political weekly Novoye Vremya, doomed to become a rarity, was signed and handed over to the printing house. Now you can call it "old "New Time"". One of the few independent publications in Russia ceased to exist. In any case, in the form in which it has existed for the past 16 years. The magazine fell victim not to a political order, but to a lack of money. Alas. Of course, one can talk about the inefficiency of management - this is the subjective side of the matter, but there is also an objective one: the basic values ​​of the journal are not very popular in Russian society.

"The task set by the new publisher is to break through to the public, to take a worthy place in the media market. To do this, Novoye Vremya must acquire a new, modern form. Will it lose its old content? It would be strange if I did not felt fear about this. But today, summing up a certain line, I will still focus on hope. Thank you all! " From the farewell speech of Alexander Pumpyansky "About success and defeat" in the latest issue of the magazine.

In connection with the death of this, now we can already say epoch-making publication, Buknik interviewed Mikhail Gorelik, a regular contributor to Novoye Vremya. Here is what he said:

The history of the financial collapse of Novoye Vremya is instructive, full of interesting psychological novels, detective and even criminal plots, in which the epoch was no less pronounced than on the pages of the magazine.

The Jewish theme, exciting the public consciousness of Russia, in its various manifestations, was constantly present on the pages of Novoye Vremya, was discussed in the magazine freely and without prejudice, different, not coinciding, sometimes sharply not coinciding, points of view sounded. The magazine did not impose any of them. For example, the Arab-Israeli conflict: Alexander Voronel - the right flank, Alexander Eterman - the left.

In the minds of many, "Jewish" is clichéd to the Arab-Israeli conflict, anti-Semitism (in general) and the Holocaust (in particular). Naturally, articles on these topics were also published in Novoye Vremya, however, materials devoted to the Jewish religion, culture, history, education, and nature constantly appeared in the magazine.

In almost every issue of the magazine, the reader could read such materials. And the latest numbers are no exception. I will note at least the brilliant essay by Alexander Melikhov “Apollonians and Mercurians”. The author repels in his reflections from the sensational book by Yuri Slezkin “Era of Mercury. Jews in the Modern World. Models for the exit of Jews from the ghetto become universal models for him.

In one of the last issues, my regular conversation with Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz “Where does time flow?” was published. This is a conversation from a series that has been lasting for many years on the pages of the New Time. In order to launch such a project in a socio-political magazine without any Jewish specifics, great courage was needed.

Of course I appreciate it. I am grateful to the editors who gave me the opportunity to speak with complete freedom for many years about Jewish culture on the pages of Novoye Vremya.

So, Alexander Pumpyansky, who headed the magazine for the last 16 years, leaves the captain's bridge and leaves the ship, from which only the name remains. The first issue of the "new "New Time"" will be released in February - it will be released in a new edition within the framework of the new concept. Irena Lesnevskaya, President of Ren Media Group, will be the founder and publisher of Novoye Vremya magazine, and Raf Shakirov, who previously headed the Kommersant Publishing House, Gazeta and Izvestia newspapers, will become the editor-in-chief of the magazine. It is planned to invest about five million dollars in the promotion of the project.

The Lesnev-Shakirov project turns out to be the fourth for Novoe Vremya. The first was a newspaper published from 1867 to 1917: at first liberal, then conservative, associated with the name of Suvorin, then Black Hundred - of course, with intense attention to the Jewish question. Naturally, after the Bolsheviks came to power, it ceased to exist. The second project is a Soviet propaganda multilingual product for external use, which arose in 1943 under the name "War and the Working Class" and was renamed after the end of the war into "New Time". The war, however, continued, but already cold - the magazine was at the forefront. That's what it was created for. The third project is "New Time" by Pumpyansky. This "New Time" arose in the wake of perestroika and is now ending before our very eyes.

Sad news from the world of Russian independent media - after 10 years of work, The New Times magazine is closing.

Free speech shrinks like shagreen leather

It is a pity that the field of independent information continues to shrink.

It's a pity.
Thanks to Evgenia Albats for having such a magazine.

I can't believe it is. I worked for this magazine for 8 years!

There are so many things connected with this magazine that now I feel like I lost a tooth. Front.

There will be no more paper NT. I would like to write some sad, funny, dangerous, idiotic, instructive, but by no means boring story, because there were so many of them, these stories, that ... I will not write a story, NT is the story itself. Countries, journalism and my little life. Sad.

There is a courtyard near Bessarabka on Khreshchatyk, where for many years there was a restaurant of Ukrainian cuisine, and now a craft bar. We were sitting in that restaurant on a warm October evening when they called from Moscow and told the news: Anna Politkovskaya had been killed. Then there was an interview with Irena Stefanovna to Novaya Gazeta, in which she said that times were worse, but hardly meaner. Then it became known that she had acquired Novoye Vremya and would restart it with Raf Shakirov and Zhenya Albats. Then, at a debate led by a novice blogger, Zhenya invited me to participate in this project. Then there were 5 years of evenings in the editorial office on Tverskoy Boulevard. And now the New Times has released the latest issue, and this is very sad.

I found the very first issue of New Times ten years ago in the school cafeteria.
Then I bought it quite often - probably, more often only the Russian Newsweek, so where is it now?
Then, in 2010, it was in the New Times that my photograph was published for the first time - ridiculous, and even stolen from LiveJournal, but I didn’t think about it then, but I thought that this was an achievement, a holiday and inspiration.
Then I began to sometimes work with the magazine, and despite all the difficulties, sometimes I shoot very interesting orders.
And in the summer of 2013, my camera was stolen from me - on the flash drive there were photographs of the morning shooting of a round table in the editorial office of the magazine that were not copied anywhere, and the shame in front of Evgenia Albats was stronger than the feeling of loss due to the purchase of a new camera.
Each new edition is a great experience of self-evaluation in terms of unfamiliar demands and the new context in which your photographs are placed, and the first and not the first pages in the New Times taught me a lot.
Then it was in the magazine that I met Olya Osipova and Ivan Stepanenko, without whom my books would not exist.
Then it was in the magazine that I was advised in Texas to find a visitors "bureau, without which the trip to Abilene would not have happened.
I am not writing here about the investigations of Barabanov or Morar, about the columns of Oleg Navalny or Saprykin - you have read all this and know without me. It's just that the New Times, although it was difficult with it, also influenced almost all the journalists you know.
It is a pity that it will no longer be in print. Hope this is temporary. Or that something new will grow.

I remember how in the spring of 2011, after a conversation with the editor-in-chief of The New Times, Yevgenia Albats, I - very inspired and satisfied - looked into the office of the policy department, where I was supposed to work.
A shaggy-haired guy in glasses was sitting there, who at first carefully looked into this very inspired and pleased face of mine, then he chuckled and silently put down the ashtray. Then I did not know yet that Yegor Mostovshchikov is almost the entire policy department of The New Times magazine (plus the editor is Ilya Barabanov). That we will write a lot of articles about Putin and one article about Putin's Botox. That in the editorial office they will traditionally argue how long I can last. That I will last 3.5 years. And during these 3.5 years, I myself will more than once be the whole department of politics of The New Times magazine. And this, perhaps, was the main feature of the editorial office: in it, each person could, even in one day, be completely different values.

P.s. I am very sorry that the printed version of the magazine is being closed. But the site remains, and this is a little consolation. There is a theory among the staff of the magazine that The New Times will work as long as two conditions are met: 1. there is at least one person on the staff; 2. this person is Evgenia Markovna. After all, she is The New Times.

Evgenia Albats, hold on. You are stronger than any circumstances. Yes, and all of us, what really.

The New Times is a huge part of my life. I came to the magazine at the very beginning - still at the stage of its creation and preparation of the first issue. At that time, there was also a large online editorial office, which was ahead of its time in many respects - streams from mass actions were being prepared, there was a large share of videos and there was a rich site.

But it was the paper The New Times that pulled everything, kept the quality. So much has happened over the years. And the mask show with the security forces in the editorial office, and the nights at the airport, trying to get to Natasha Morari, who was being expelled from the country, and the bookmark found under the car of Zhenya Albats, and Barabanov, who was hidden in some apartments after another investigation, and the coolest interview with the family Luzhkov after his resignation, which collapsed the publication’s website (and there were hundreds of such interesting interviews!), And dozens of investigations, and live broadcasts of Novodvorskaya ...

Thanks to Evgenia Albats for the quality, for her convictions and for her humanity.

now it will become easier in Russia, one more complex condensation disappears, even less freedom to be different. I worked for the magazine for 8 months and got an experience that I did not expect at all in my forties. thanks to the editor-in-chief, thanks to those with whom I shared this time.

With the cessation of the publication of The New Times in Russia, socio-political magazines have ended, only somewhere far away, "Spark" is still flickering.

And although Yevgenia Albats herself clearly named the reason - "the money ran out", it is clear that the state made every effort to do this. From restrictions on the advertising market to pressure on the printing house. From Roskomnadzor to Russian Post.

Dealing with magazines is easier than dealing with a crisis.

But these kind sympathetic words coexist in the network with outright gloating.

One of the most popular liberal publications The New Times closes the paper version.

Whether the market is to blame, refused to enter into itself those who like to show off money for offices. Either the people are not like that again, the damned fascist, the multinational publication does not honor and does not even read.

Antonio Gramsci and then, probably, shed a tear.

Closed another liberal magazine.

They write maliciously that the guardians of the market are not on friendly terms with the market for some reason. It's right. I'm afraid the publishers don't even understand the problem.

In terms of the market, Ekho Moskvy, for example, does not compete with Vesti FM at all. Because they have different audiences. Ekho Moskvy competes with Novaya Gazeta.

There were too many liberal publications. They were all too uniform. The same authors, goals, style. Why are there so many of them? They love different business slogans, such as "be different or die," but they don't want to be different from each other. You have to die in accordance with the slogan.

The decrease in the audience, its fragmentation led to the fact that many liberal media began to switch to a paid subscription. Thus exacerbating his position. Because opponents used to read them too. But to read opponents also for not so little money? No, please.

Liberal office plankton earns hard, in Moscow it’s not bad, but Dozhdi is unable to pull everything in a row.

Especially since the Ukrainian press dealt the most serious blow to the liberal press. General radicalization calls for harsh language. Where are they tougher? Russians are forced to look back at the law. Ukrainians are allowed literally everything in relation to Russia and the Kremlin. You can call to hang, talk about genetic inferiority, curse - whatever you want. Well, everything else is approximately the same as that of our native liberals. Plus it's free. How many do you want. Yes, and the authors are the same: Muzhdabaev, Ganapolsky are published here, and Sytin, for example, is there.

Funny. People who fought for cheap migrant workers, in fact, suffer from them. Although they hardly realize it.

There is only one road - to federal channels in gladiator fights. There just isn't enough room for everyone.

The overproduction of liberal thought is decimating their ranks. But they blame everything on censorship.

The editor-in-chief of The New Times, Yevgenia Albats, said that the magazine was closing, "only the website would remain." Moreover, judging by the fact that the subscription button on the site has stopped working (it just throws it to the main page), the site will remain in the sense of an archive, and not as an online publication. Why does this news excite us?

Firstly, because The New Times (like, for example, Republic) is a political magazine operating on a strict subscription model, that is, in some way comparable to Sputnik and Pogrom. There are few publications in Russia that use the hard paywall model (when the best content is only for money, and news/small texts are free), and we are following them closely.

Secondly, because of The New Times attendance numbers: having FOUR TIMES SMALLER AUDIENCE than ours, Evgenia Markovna maintained a solid editorial staff, sent correspondents on business trips, and rented an office. I think the office rent alone was more than our entire monthly budget. We work four times better, but we have money ... I think half of the editorial staff receives less than Evgenia Markovna spends on a manicure per month.

And thirdly, because the example of The New Times, most likely, will soon be cited as evidence of the inoperability of the subscription model in Russia, like, people do not want to pay money. Although it is clearly seen from the comparative statistics shown on the screen that the Albats publication was deeply subsidized (who subsidized it? I don’t even know who can subsidize the publication of a member of the Public Council of the Russian Jewish Congress ...), and, obviously, Albats sponsors ran out of desire to give money. That is, this is not a failure of the subscription model, but a failure of the model of a subsidized political publication that defends the interests of multinational Russians (for example, the legendary Crimean Tatar nationalist Aidar Muzhdabaev has already expressed his grief over the closure).
