Forbes Russia

Profile narrative

Forbes Russia is the Russian-language edition of the global Forbes magazine. It delivers business news, analysis, and features on topics such as finance, investment, technology, entrepreneurship, leadership, and lifestyle. The publication serves Russian executives, investors, and professionals seeking insights into domestic and international markets. It produces both print and digital content, including articles, interviews, rankings, and multimedia pieces. Its content is accessible through its website, mobile applications, and traditional print distribution. The editorial focus aligns with the parent brand’s emphasis on highlighting success stories, market trends, and economic developments relevant to its audience.

As part of Forbes Media, the Russian edition operates under a licensing agreement that allows it to use the Forbes name and editorial standards while adapting content to local contexts. The outlet’s distinguishing attributes include its reputation for rigorous business journalism and its role in providing rankings such as the Forbes list of Russian billionaires. Ownership of the parent Forbes Media rests with a consortium led by Integrated Whale Media Investments, which acquired a majority stake in 2014. The specific local partner responsible for publishing Forbes Russia is not detailed in the available sources. The 2022 cyberattack by the hacker group Anonymous defaced the website with an anti‑war message urging Russians to oppose the invasion of Ukraine. This incident formed part of a broader hacktivist campaign targeting Russian state media and government websites during the Ukraine conflict, highlighting vulnerabilities in digital infrastructure.
