Forbes Ukraine relaunches in May, six years after it was taken over by allies of then-President Yanukovych
Forbes Ukraine relaunches in May, six years after it was taken over by allies of then-President Yanukovych. The new editor will be the old editor: Volodymyr Fedoryn. “I am excited to be back to business with Forbes,” said Fedoryn, who led a staff walkout after the Yanukovych-era takeover. The new owner of the monthly will be UYAVY! LLC, owned by Artur Grants. Grants also owns BF Group which won attention for winning a duty free concession at Boryspil airport and taking over the Sofiyskiy Fitness Group in 2017. The group reportedly is close to former Prime Minister Yatsenyuk. On Monday, alluding to coronavirus curbs which closed news kiosks, Grants said: “The start of this project coincided with the toughest challenge in our lifetime, but I am sure that Ukraine and the world will overcome this with business doing its best to support the country and the people.”
