The message reads, in part:
"Over the past 20 years you have achieved a lot: you have created a unique and unmistakably recognisable style and gained a firm position in Russian media. But the main thing is that you have managed to find a loyal readership. Your newspaper is valued for its informative content, its deep and sound approach to the most important events in Russia and abroad, its well-grounded evaluations and its independent and sharp-tongued character.
Your portfolio includes well-established professional traditions, ambitious projects and the very rich experience accumulated by your highly professional creative editorial team of talented and dedicated people who truly love and know their job."
