The first news on the launch of D&C Russia appeared when Alexander Lebedev, the Russian oligarch, bought D&C license, reportedly for his London-based son, Evgeniy.
In spring it became clear that the team behind Russian edition will be the one that worked on the online-publication LAM Magazine [much acclaimed by Dazed&Confused and Jefferson Hack – jk]. Hack personally came to Moscow to overview the work on the zero issue. Almost all summer long the crowd discussed how the publication would look like and who was going to score editor-in-chief position. The issue had to be out in fall. But then the crisis came.
The zero issue still made it in print by the circulation of 1000.The first issue will be out in April or September - depends on Financial crisis.
