Anton Kudryashov: "You have made an enormous contribution to the development of the media market in Russia"

Dear Friends!

Please accept our sincere congratulations for this wonderful event: the 20th anniversary of the founding of the Sanoma Independent Media publishing house.

Everyone is familiar with the Sanoma Independent Media publishing house thanks to publications such as Vedomosti, Esquire, Domashny Ochag, Harper's Bazaar, National Geographic and many more. In the early 1990s, you opened Russia's doors to a whole world of high-quality and interesting print media! For 20 years now you have been helping us keep abreast of the most noteworthy events and changes in business, fashion, politics, entertainment and art. You serve as a guide to the main trends shaping not only the present but also the future of our planet.

You have made an enormous contribution to the development of the media market in Russia and have become the recognized leader in the industry. To this day, you have successfully withstood intense competition to become a major player in the Russian and international media markets — an accomplishment made possible through the capable work of your strong team of professionals, your innovative approach to business and the consistently high quality of your publications.

You are true professionals! The Sanoma Independent Media publishing house can rightfully be called a key source of information on the Russian market. I wish you continued creative success and prosperity!

Sincerely yours,

Anton Kudryashov
