Closure of ''BusinessWeek'' Russian version

"Three years after the Russian version of BusinessWeek magazine went on sale in Russia, the ''Rodionov Publishing House'' has decided to close the project, saying the journal format is not popular on the domestic market. BusinessWeek spokesperson Patricia A. Strauss said the magazine would evaluate other projects for the Russian market. The license agreement will expire on 30 June 2008. Yevgeny Dodolev, publishing director of the Rodionov Publishing House's business publications group, said the BusinessWeek format had never been popular with the Russian market. "We have decided to close the unprofitable magazine because there is no advertising; and the project has not recouped itself," Dodolev told the paper. He said there were no profitable U.S. weekly magazines in Russia. Although our publishing house has invested over $10 million in the magazine since 2005, the project has not even reached breakeven point, Dodolev said. TNS
