Founded in 1999, Ведомости (Vedomosti) is one of Russia's most influential and respected business publications. It was originally established as a joint venture between the Financial Times, The Wall Street Journal, and Sanoma (publisher of The Moscow Times), with a mission to provide independent, reliable, and high-quality business journalism in Russia. The publication focuses on in-depth analysis of financial markets, corporate developments, economic trends, and political events affecting the business landscape. Over the years, it has evolved from a print-focused newspaper to a major digital media platform, serving a wide audience of professionals, investors, and decision-makers.
