I teach myself a lot and in different ways - was an engineer, programmer, and then finished yet and the Finance Academy and became a financier. Listens to classic jazz and Russian rock. Yesterday, 18:10
I bought Openspace.ru
Draft Openspace I decided to buy on the recommendation of my friends Katie and Sasha Gerasichevoy Vinokourov, because I trust their expertise in matters related to online media, and I think this resource is unique in terms of content. Advisors to the transaction were Demian Kudryavtsev and Arsen Revazov, whose peer-review for me, too, is very important. At the moment I am the sole owner, however, admit the possibility of the emergence of other shareholders in the future. The project cost is really inexpensive, but it has debts (which is now repaid), and he planned unprofitable for the next eighteen months.

We have no plans for its major changes, association with other media or the creation on its base of something else. In my opinion, it is valuable is what he is. Plans for its development of an operational need to ask the editors (they are, as far as I know). We expect to make it a breakeven in year and a half or two years, but it strongly depends on the situation in the Internet advertising market, and for more accurate forecasts, it will take time. By pushing it into austerity is not planned, as this may lead to loss of quality content.

The company has signed contracts to purchase the domain openspace.ru and brand with the previous owners. Party at the restart is planned for mid-late October.
