Russian Vogue editor Aliona Doletskaya leaves the journal


Russian Vogue editor Aliona Doletskaya decided to leave the publishing house Condé Nast Russia.

President of Condé Nast International Jonathan Newhouse (Jonathan Newhouse) appealed to the company with the following letter:

"Some time ago, Alain Doletskaya told me that she would resign as chief editor of Russian Vogue, a position she held for almost 13 years, and start a new life - perhaps write a book or try a new career. Since Russia - as well as the whole world - was still in a difficult economic situation, I asked Alain to wait until it is more opportune moment.

Today it is obvious that we emerge from the crisis, so I do not want to interfere Alenina plans. With great sadness, I accept her decision to leave the magazine.

It is impossible to overestimate the contribution of Alena Doletskaya in the development of Russian Vogue. In the late 1990's culture of glossy magazines in Russia was still low. None of the existing market magazines do not have the necessary understanding of the Vogue fashion, beauty, photography and had expressed a visual language. There was little the journalists who were experts in those fields. All you had to create from scratch. Alena managed to do this. She has assembled a team has found and nurtured young journalists to set the highest standards of quality and fanatically worked to make Vogue the most beautiful and influential fashion magazine, not only in Russia but also in the world.

Moreover, Alain Doletskaya itself is the embodiment of Vogue: she is just as charismatic and elegant-on, as published by its journal. Alain is a true style icon, an incarnation of glamor - and in their own country and in international fashion circles.

Image Alena is great, but no less magnificent magazine created by it. It appeared in the magazine her talent and dedication. In short, the Vogue - simply the best gloss-st journal in Russia. Twelve years ago, the first cover of September Vogue rooms decorated photographer Mario Testino (Mario Testino). At present the September cover - picture Murtha Alas (Mert Alas) and Marcus Piggot (Marcus Piggott). These photographers, who embody the best there is today in fashion and in a magazine photo. And this is an excellent example of what high standards established in the Russian Vogue Alena.

In the very near future we will announce the name of the new editor of Russian Vogue. The role of Alena in the formation of the magazine is so unique that in a sense, it is impossible to replace. I thank Alain for all that she did for the magazine and wish her success of her plans for the future ".

Wow. She have done great things for Vogue РОССИЯ and I'm sure her departure will be sad.

I've looked forward to VR's covers and content even more so than VI for about a year or so. VR can reckon with any of the other established vogues, so that's a job well done for her.

I always looked forward to Vogue Russia and that's probably due to Aliona making it such a fabulous magazine. It's so sad knowing she's doing something different. Definitely a sad departure. Plus, I always loved her and her commentary in those style.com videos.

Vogue Russia's new editor is Viktoria Davydova.

This is really sad. Aliona has made great contributions to Vogue Russia and it's getting better and better. But I think she has all her rights to make this decision.

I hope the new editor will do a justice job to the magazine in the future.

Sucks, she was a great editor. I hope she comes back to the magazine world in some fashion, but I can see wanting to move on after being at a job for over 10 years. Sometimes it can be monotonous....
