Lenta.ru

Lenta.ru is a Russian-language online newspaper. Based in Moscow, it is owned by Rambler Media Group. In 2013, the Alexander Mamut-owned companies "SUP Media" and "Rambler-Afisha" merged to form "Afisha.Rambler.SUP", which owns Lenta.ru. In 2012, the online newspaper was one of the most popular Russian language online resources with over 600 thousand visitors daily. In March 2014, Lenta.ru underwent a change of leadership following politically motivated interference by its owner. Editor-in-chief Galina Timchenko and 39 staff members left the outlet and later founded a newspaper Meduza, in November of the same year.
