Yelizaveta Osetinskaya

Yelizaveta Osetinskaya in 2015

Yelizaveta Nikolayevna Osetinskaya (Russian: Елизавета Николаевна Осетинская, IPA: [jɪlʲɪzɐˈvʲetə nʲɪkɐˈlajɪvnə ɐsʲɪˈtʲɪnskəjə]; born 3 May 1977, Moscow) is a Russian journalist and media manager. She is notable as a former editor-in-chief of the Russian edition of Forbes (2011-2013) and of RBC (2014-2016).[1] Her reforms at RBC helped make it one of the most-cited Russian media holdings.[2] Under her editorship, RBC emphasized investigative journalism, with highlights including the participation of Russian troops in the War in Donbass and the business connections of president Vladimir Putin's family.[3]

Osetinskaya was born in Moscow in 1977 and graduated from the Faculty of Economics of Moscow State University in 1998. She started reporting for RBC in 1995 while in university. Between November 1999 and April 2011 she worked for Vedomosti, from March 2007 to February 2010 as its editor-in-chief. In May 2011, Osetinskaya was appointed editor-in-chief of the Russian edition of Forbes. In January 2014 she started as the editor-in-chief of business-news conglomerate RBC, which included the television network, the website, the daily newspaper, and the magazine.[4]

On 13 May 2016, together with two more editors of the RBC Information Systems, was fired with immediate effect. She believes this was a consequence of the publication about the Panama Papers and their connections to Vladimir Putin.[5] Earlier that year, she was named a 2016-17 International John S. Knight Journalism Fellow at Stanford University.[6]
