History

RBC was recognized in Russia for investigative journalism, including reports on corruption and abuse of power [3] which led to a forced change of leadership, including the editor-in-chief Yelizaveta Osetinskaya, in May 2016. [4] In April 2016, searches were conducted at the ONEKSIM Group investment fund, controlling shareholder of the RBC Group, due to publications about Vladimir Putin's daughter Katerina Tikhonova and her husband, Russian oligarch Kirill Shamalov, [5] as well as about the Panama Papers. [6] The Moscow Times reported that the 11 May 2016 RBC article "Oyster farming will begin in front of the "Putin's palace" near Gelendzhik" ( Russian: Напротив «дворца Путина» под Геленджиком начнут разводить устриц) revealed that Alexander Ponomarenko is the owner of " Putin's Palace". [7] [8] After publication of the RBC article, Mikhail Prokhorov, who has had the majority ownership of the RBK Group since he purchased a 51% stake in it in 2009, fired Maxim Solus, the editor-in-chief of RBC newspaper. Both Roman Badanin, rbc.ru's chief editor, and Yelizaveta Osetinskaya, RBC's chief editor, resigned in response. [7]

In September 2021, RBK Group sold 100% of shares of Ru-Center Group, the domain names registrar, to the syndicate of private investors, Ru-Web.Investments LLC, led by Proxima Capital Group (founded in 2013 by Vladimir Tatarchuk, ex-Alfa-Bank). RBK Group acquired 25% stake in Ru-Web.Investments LLC under the terms of the deal. [9]
