Vogue Russia names new editor-in-chief

Condé Nast Russia has appointed Ksenia Solovieva the editor-in-chief of Vogue Russia. Solovieva will replace Masha Fedorova, who has decided to step down from the role.

Solovieva joined Condé Nast in 2007 as beauty director of Tatler Russia. Shortly after, she was promoted to Deputy Editor, and in 2010 she became editor-in-chief of Tatler Russia. Under her leadership, Tatler evolved into one of the most widely read and cited glossy magazines in Russia, a highly commercially successful multimedia brand with an audience of over three million readers.

In a statement, Anita Gigovskaya, president and managing director of Condé Nast Russia said, “Ksenia Solovieva is a professional with impeccable reputation — she combines talent and discipline, a rare match. Ksenia was one of the first editors of glossy magazines to embrace digital media. She single-handedly edited Tatler Russia’s Instagram account since its launch. In 2016, she initiated the successful revamping of Tatler Russia’s website from a tabloid to an influential online media outlet about high society, launched Tatler-Butler channel in Telegram, and launched important cultural projects including the Debutantes Ball, the traditional September Tatler Schools supplement, the spring project with Tatler Teens event and supplement and much more. Thanks to her vision and journalistic instinct, Tatler is one of the most cited glossy publications in Russia today. I am sure that Ksenia will bring a lot of new valuable context to the Russian Vogue, and I am pleased to witness such an important new step in her career. I would like to thank Masha Fedorova for nearly twenty years of work at Condé Nast. Masha has done so much for us — her contribution to the development of GQ, then Glamour and Vogue, to the professional growth of many editorial talents. I wish Masha huge success for her future projects.”

Condé Nast Russia will announce the editor-in-chief of Tatler Russia soon.
