Additional information:

The newspaper director Sergey Znamensky was fired at the demand of the prosecutor's office because he simultaneously headed commercial organisations, which is prohibited by law. Tatyana Pronina, the chief accountant, was appointed in his place. It is already the third director in six months. Journalists are afraid of the possible change of the status of the enterprise. It can be made subordinate to the district administration, with which the media editor-in-chief Yuliya Shevchuk has a conflict.
