Who fired Yassin? – Radio Liberty

Who fired Yassin? – Radio Liberty

Chairman of the Board “Gazprom-Media” Mikhail Lesin resigned “for family reasons”. On Friday, citing the press service of “Gazprom” informed “Interfax”. His likely successor in office may be, Dmitry Chernyshenko, the head of the holding VolgaGroup “friend of Putin” Gennady Timchenko, who earlier headed the Bid Committee “Sochi-2014″. Experts do not believe in the voluntary resignation of Mikhail Lesin: according to the publication Forbes, the decision on his resignation was made a week ago, and took it personally Vladimir Putin.

“Vedomosti” reported that Lessin recorded statement “on their own, for family reasons,” another 12 December and it was made chairman of the board of directors of “Gazprom-Media” Alexei Miller. December 19 of the decision reported by the top managers of the campaign. It is noteworthy that on 17 December Lessin resigned as chairman of the board of the Association “Industrial Committee telemeasurements” (ICT).

Chief Editor of “Echo of Moscow” Alexei Venediktov opposed the resignation of Michael Yassin, saying it was “untimely a difficult year and the approval of the budget. ” Earlier, Mikhail Lesin and radio staff managed to extinguish the conflict related to the dismissal of the journalist of “Echo of Moscow” Alexandra Ivy.

According to sources, the publication Forbes, resignation Yassin due to the fact that his relationship with the owner of “National Media group “Yuri Kovalchuk. One of the possible causes of the conflict called the idea of ​​establishing a national Yassin teleizmeritelya who were dissatisfied with the heads of major Russian TV channels Konstantin Ernst (Channel) and Oleg Dobrodeev (RTR). On the resignation of Michael Yassin says columnist Forbes Elizabeth Surganova:

– There are many versions, some of them seem to be more consistent and believable, some – not. I do not think that the resignation of Yassin may be associated with the conflict around the “Echo of Moscow” (as it is written channel “Rain”). I think that it is too small for a man of his story zoom to it was removed due to a conflict with Venediktov, the more so successfully razrulennogo. With all due respect to Alexei Venediktov, I do not think that it was his “merit”. Lesin unfolded quite active on the market in the last year. I think there was a lot of unhappy that. Although when I talked to the media industry players, almost all said how good he’s back (headed by Mikhail Lesin “Gazprom-Media” in the fall of 2013, returning to the media industry after a long break. – Note. RS ) what it is that he is consolidating industry. I think its pretty active movement in this direction could leave some one unhappy lot. There is a version that the heads of TV channels – “First Channel” Konstantin Ernst, “RTR” Oleg Dobrodeev and “NTV” Vladimir Kulistikov – were not very happy with the creation of a new committee on telemeasurements.

There is a version that the heads of TV channels -” First Channel “Konstantin Ernst,” RTR “Oleg Dobrodeev and” NTV “Vladimir Kulistikov – were not very happy with the creation of a new committee on telemeasurements

telemetry and ratings – this is the main currency in the market. Therefore, a key moment for the entire television industry. The first channel for many years has positioned itself as a channel that does not use ratings TNS, do not count them accurately and uses its own rating. And it was always such a principled position. And then came Lessin, and it seemed all the channels have organized to choose a new meter, which could be the same TNS. The Committee was set up, this whole story has been started, but the tender has not been announced, its results have not been announced. There was a strange story in the beginning of December, when they had to declare a winner, and then announced that the tender will be canceled at all. Then removed, announced that the tender is not canceled and delayed, and then the head of the committee resigned. I selected this story to motivate. Perhaps, indeed, there was some dissatisfaction. Talk about dissatisfaction Yuri Kovalchuk, who is known to be one of the main people in our media market – believes Elizabeth Surganova.

I do not think Yassin resignation may be linked to the conflict around the “Echo of Moscow”. It’s too small for a man of his story-scale

The media also point out that the resignation of Yassin occurred after the US Justice Department released data on its US property: According to Senator Roger Wicker, Mikhail Lesin – owner of several buildings in California, and it may be contrary to the US anti-corruption laws and laws against money-laundering. Commenting on this information, Lessin said that the house “owned by his children, who were taken for their purchase loans from banks and promised to find the author of this zakazuhi”.

On the possible reasons for the resignation of Mikhail Lesin said mediaanalitik Igor Yakovenko:

– I think that the reasons for the resignation of two Yassin. Firstly, these are the scandals that are associated with its property abroad, in the United States. As part of the elite it is not nationalized, despite the fact that such an indication is given Putin. He is very vulnerable to scandals, to be compromised. But I think that even this is not the main reason. And the main reason that Lessin – this is definitely the enemy of the Russian press, but the enemy is very smart, independent, non-ordinary.

Lessin – it certainly enemy of the Russian press, but the enemy is very smart, independent, extraordinary

Lessin, unlike the vast majority of the gray bureaucrats who make up Putin’s entourage, all Putin’s vertical, very independent person who is capable of deeds, capable of articulate speech, of independent action. And more than once he had to break out of this vertical. Lessin got involved in a scandal with the “Echo of Moscow”, said some words. He is a living person, as opposed to those of the dead, which is mainly composed of vertical. I do not think that we should feel sorry about leaving Yassin because Lessin – a man very much harm, Russian journalism and Russian media. Just someone who will instead be much worse, – said Igor Yakovenko.

Lesina likely successor in office will be Dmitry Chernyshenko. His candidacy introduced by the Board of Directors of OAO “Gazprom-Media”, “Interfax”, the press service of “Gazprom”. Dmitry Chernyshenko, head of the holding VolgaGroup “friend of Putin” Gennady Timchenko, previously headed the Bid Committee “Sochi-2014″. His achievements in their former places of work studied columnist RL Elena Rykovtseva :

– Dmitry Chernyshenko grew up in Sochi. There still live by his parents. He studied in Moscow, a programmer. Since the late ’80s – in the advertising business, in particular, together with his colleagues created the first commercials of MMM, when she was not involved in the pyramid, and the sale of computers and then led advertising agencies, became vice-president of the Russian Association of Advertising Agencies, by the nature of its activities – advertising TV business – had long been familiar with Mikhail Lesin.
 
 In the middle of the two thousandth advertising agency Dmitry Chernyshenko Sportime began to receive orders for the promotion of certain sports projects, such as “Ski Track of Russia”, “Cross of Nations” and even pathos Moscow Challenge, with a huge prize pool of $ 2 million, the Cap of Monomakh as prizes to the winners, the best athletes of the world as participants, but it turned out that commercial failure. This sporty design your Chernyshenko associated with the name of Vyacheslav Fetisov, who then headed the State Committee.

It is possible that it was introduced Fetisov Chernyshenko President Putin

It is possible that it was introduced Fetisov Chernyshenko, President Putin. Then he took a more serious things already on the direct orders of Vladimir Putin. In 2004 he was invited to lead the campaign for the Winter Olympics in Sochi. And in 2005, he, along with Vyacheslav Fetisov began to create the Eurasian Hockey League. It was the idea of ​​Putin – to unite in her command of the former Soviet Union and Europe.

In 2007, Dmitry Chernyshenko moved the business of hockey, and it is entirely focused on the Olympics – by the time he officially became chairman of the Organizing Committee of the Olympic games. Press reacted to this purpose very skeptical. Magazine “Kommersant-Vlast” then wrote: “At the head of the Olympic organizing committee was always a very powerful man. In China, it is a member of the Presidium of the Central Committee of the CPC, in the same UK – Lord Coe. In Russia, despite the presence of the Olympic authorities meaningful names and high ranks, chairman of the organizing committee appointed by Dmitry Chernyshenko, whose main field of activity – PR. This his office – a sign, a tribute to tradition. Because the Sochi Games organizing committee did not conduct any, and state agencies, which stands at the head of Vladimir Putin. ” Chernyshenko never skimp on praise and flattery open to Putin: “Sochi 2014 will nev er be able to be here today if not for the support, vision and passion of Vladimir Putin,” he said in Guatemala, where considered Sochi Olympic bid. He often stayed with Putin. According to the stories of journalists from the Kremlin pool, in 2008, he attended a meeting between Putin and Bush in Bocharov Creek, where he was looking at a map of Krasnaya Polyana, where it was written, “Laura”, allegedly seriously asking why this place was named after his wife. Chernyshenko as seriously tried to explain what was purely fortuitous coincidence, but Putin did not support this version of “Laura” in the mountains there was a special occasion, your wife “- he had fun.

Dmitry Chernyshenko quite successfully coped with its public relations work. In 2009, he wittily said that the main achievement of its structure in recent years is that the world has learned to distinguish the word “Sochi” from the word “sushi”.

Chernyshenko never skimp on praise and flattery open to Putin

At the end of the Sochi Olympics Chernyshenko brilliantly confounded all those who claimed that the games are ruining the country ” Games were a huge commercial success – he said confidently. – Final figures will be only a year after the final stage of the audit. However, we can say that the profit amounted to about 5 billion rubles “.

When the game ended, Dmitry Chernyshenko became asset manager businessman Gennady Timchenko, a longtime friend of Vladimir Putin. It was believed that it was a call from Putin on a successful the Olympics. And as Gennady Timchenko, among other things, chairman of the board of directors of the CHL, it is logical that Dmitry Chernyshenko returned to hockey in the management of the Continental Hockey League.

This is his purpose was just at the beginning of December. And Now after a couple of weeks, his call to lead and still holding “Gazprom-Media”. Instead Yassin. One of his PR man is changed to another. This, apparently, it seems safer.

“Gazprom-Media “which leaves Lesin – the largest media holding in Russia. A subsidiary of” Gazprombank “control channels NTV, TNT,” NTV-Plus “,” Echo of Moscow “,” City-FM “and others. After buying” Profmedia “control channels TV-3, “Friday” and 2×2. Radio station “Autoradio”, “Humor-FM” and the production company “Central Partnership”.
