Rodionov Publishing House (Russian: Издательский дом Родионова) (IDR, Izdatelsky Dom Rodionova) was a publishing house based in Moscow that owned several magazine titles whose publications occupied a leading position in the group of monthly business and financial publications in Russia between 1999 and 2009. It was founded by Sergey S. Rodionov and his father.[1]

In 2004, Sergei Rodionov sold 50% of the company to Iskander Makhmudov and Andrey Bokarev. Rodionov Publishing House's managers included Evgeny Dodolev (he ran Rodionov Publishing House in 2005–2009 as CEO).[2][3][4][5] Rodionov Publishing House published the Politburo (closed January 2004), Paradox (closed July 2004) and other magazines. Its portfolio includes business, men's, women's and special interest magazines.

After the Great Recession, the company began to close existing publications. In December 2017, the last asset was sold - the Profil magazine, which was owned by the European Media Group[6][7]

Closure of BusinessWeek Russian version in 2008

[edit]

Three years after the Russian version of BusinessWeek magazine went on sale in Russia, the Rodionov Publishing House decided to close the project, saying the journal format was not popular on the domestic market. BusinessWeek spokesperson Patricia A. Strauss said the magazine would evaluate other projects for the Russian market. The license agreement expired on 30 June 2008.

Yevgeny Dodolev, publishing director of the Rodionov Publishing House's business publications group, said the BusinessWeek format had never been popular with the Russian market. "We have decided to close the unprofitable magazine because there is no advertising; and the project has not recouped itself," Dodolev told the paper. He said there were no profitable U.S. weekly magazines in Russia. Although our publishing house has invested over $10 million in the magazine since 2005, the project has not even reached breakeven point, Dodolev said. TNS Gallup AdFact managing director Ruslan Tagiyev said there were already 15 weeklies on the stagnant local market. He said BusinessWeek was among the last to enter the market and found it difficult to promote itself.

The Russian team proved unable to combine the Western brand and the needs of Russian readers. Top managers at media companies with major assets, such as Independent Media Sanoma Magazines, Kommersant, RosBusinessConsulting, United Media, Seven Days and Media-3, said they had not interest in buying BusinessWeek's license."[citation needed]
