“Moskovsky Komsomolets, widely known as MK, one of the oldest continuously published newspapers in Russia, has come a long and eventful way. Its breaking news, articles and thematic supplements are read by subscribers and internet users in Russia and far beyond its borders. Without a doubt, MK’s success is rooted in the well-coordinated and highly professional work of the editorial team, as well as your fruitful cooperation with talented authors, writers, and music critics. But above all, this success is due to your unwavering objectivity and relevance of your content and an enduring respect for the traditions of your predecessors, who faithfully served the profession they loved, forging MK’s history and its special, recognisable style.”
