Vladimir Sungorkin is in his 69th year. After the collapse of the USSR, he acquired Komsomolskaya Pravda and turned it into one of the most popular media in the Russian Federation.

Vladimir Sungorkin, editor-in-chief and director general of Russia’s most popular newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda, has died. This is stated in the editorial statement.

Vladimir Sungorkin is in his 69th year. He was born in Khabarovsk, started working in journalism in the 70s of the last century, and in 1985 he moved to the Moscow edition of Komsomolskaya Pravda.

After the collapse of the USSR, he acquired the publication and turned it into one of the most popular media in Russia. At its peak, its circulation exceeded 35 million copies a day, making the newspaper one of the most circulated in the world.

Today the newspaper’s website is visited by about 65 million users a month – it is the most visited private media in Russia.

Komsomolskaya Pravda almost always supports the course of the Kremlin and Russian President Vladimir Putin, criticizing only individual officials, and Sungorkin himself called the newspaper “Putin’s favorite publication.”

Recall that Ivan Safronov, a former Kommersant correspondent and adviser to the head of Roscosmos, was sentenced to 22 years in a strict regime colony and fined 500,000 Russian rubles (about $8,200) on a charge of treason.
