History

Founded by Boris Berezovsky and Yevgeny Dodolev,[2] it featured investigative journalism and leaks from sources inside the Russian business world, as well as a large number of cartoons. Its history saw a number of stunts. It published so-called "leaks" from administration officials, including information from whistle-blowers.

Oleg Mitvol gave the newspaper its name.[3]

In September 1999 the first issue was published.[4]

Valeriya Novodvorskaya said that it was most provocative newspaper in Russia.[5]

Although the Moskovskaya Komsomolka never lost its touches of humor, it soon established itself as a pre-eminent forum for serious journalism.
