NEW EDITOR: "FORBES RUSSIA" WILL BE THE SAME

MOSCOW, August 30 (RIA Novosti) - The concept of "Forbes Russia" will not be altered with the change of the management, Maxim Kashulinskii, the publication's editor-in-chief, told RIA Novosti.

The former chief editor of the magazine's Russian version, Paul Khlebnikov, an American citizen of Russian origin, was murdered in Moscow on July 9. So far the crime remains unsolved.

"I do not think the readers will notice any changes - "Forbes" will still be about business and businessmen, about new ideas", - Kashulinskii said.

Earlier Kashulinskii had worked as the magazine's managing editor and elaborated the publication's concept together with Khlebnikov.

"Therefore I can't say the proposal to take charge of "Forbes" came as a surprise", - Kashulinskii said.

He still does not have any version on Khlebnikov's murder.

"We are doing what we can to help the investigation, but so far there is no new information about the murder. Our team has rallied since then", - Kashulinskii said.

There will be no reminders of Khlebnikov's tragic death in the September issue of "Forbes".

"It will be devoted to the topic: where should one invest personal money. Money will be on the cover too - thousand-rouble bills in great numbers", - Kashulinskii said.

The new "Forbes" editor-in-chief is 31 years old, and he is a philosopher by education.
