Tavrin invested in regional media assets to establish the Media One holding in 2007, which he later merged with Usmanov's AF Media Holding to create UTH.
UTH sold a 49 percent stake in its 7TV television channel to Walt Disney for $300 million late last year, with the U.S. media giant subsequently launching a local Disney channel to replace 7TV.
Tavrin was unavailable for comment Friday, but a source close to UTH told PRIME that he would remain the chairman of the media...
... tailed off in the second half. Asian investment proved less active than expected, and more than three quarters of foreign investment deals came from North America and Europe. Unilever's buyout of Koncern Kalina, TPG Capital's investment in Lenta and Walt Disney's acquisition of 7TV are good indicators for the attraction of our market.
Energy, mining and utilities remained the leading sector in 2011 (volume and value), and 43 percent of respondents place it ahead again in 2012. This is characteristic of...

Here we go again — another round of anti-Americanism from the Kremlin and state-controlled media. Blaming outside forces for Russia's woes has a long history in the country. The closer we get to the March 4 presidential election, the more intense the anti-American hysteria becomes.
Today's Moscow is unlovable and unlivable, overdeveloped, underserved by public utilities and choked by traffic. You can't drive, you can't breathe, there is no place to park and walking is impossible thanks to giant SUVs lining the sidewalks.

Every failed revolution is followed by a serious repercussion. Considering that the current "White Revolution" is bound to fail, turmoil awaits this country after Prime Minister Vladimir Putin is inaugurated as president in May.

If Putin gave up power at any age, he and dozens of his friends and colleagues who have become millionaires and billionaires over the past 10 years through their Kremlin-connected businesses could face serious corruption charges. This is why the best, and perhaps only, way for Putin to preserve immunity is to stay in power until death.

Putin has always been the ultimate "Teflon president" — but certainly not in the Ronald Reagan sense of the word. Putin's brand of Teflon is clearly made in Russia. Because he wants to avoid uncomfortable questions about his decade-long rule, Putin is once again refusing to participate in presidential debates.
