Kommersant Names New Editor-in-Chief After Decade-Long Hiatus
One of Russia’s oldest media companies, Kommersant Publishing House, has appointed a new editor-in-chief for its flagship newspaper. Mikhail Lukin will take over the role from Vladimir Zhelonkin, who remains CEO of the publishing group. The change marks Lukin’s return to the organization after a decade away in other media and financial roles.
Kommersant first launched its daily newspaper in 1990, later expanding with a website in 1995 and a 24-hour radio station, Kommersant FM, in 2010. The company has long been a key player in Russian journalism, with a history stretching back over three decades.
The leadership change sees Lukin step into the editor-in-chief role while Zhelonkin retains oversight of the publishing house. Both bring extensive experience in media, finance, and public administration to their positions. The transition reflects Kommersant’s ongoing evolution as a major force in Russian journalism.
