A prominent Russian gymnast, winner of four Olympic gold medals, the only Russian member of the Laureus World Sports Academy, leader of the Young Stars project and Editor-in-Chief of BOLSHOI Sport magazine, Alexei Nemov conducted his first interview in his new capacity as journalist. Alexei’s interviewee was Alina Kabaeva – a fellow athlete and gold medallist of the Athens Olympic Games, now a member of Russian Parliament. The famous gymnast spoke openly and matter-of-factly about her rise to Olympic glory and her current busy schedule, about promoting sports for children as well as future and former champions. “She gave straightforward answers to all of my questions. I had a great time talking to someone I knew very well but in my new capacity. Alina was honest, she spoke from the heart, which made me very happy,” admitted Alexei Nemov after the interview that lasted one and half hours and will now be published in BOLSHOI Sport magazine’s June edition. The famous Russian gymnast accepted the appointment as Editor-in-Chief of the magazine as of 1 June. The fact that this office is now occupied by the legendary athlete means that the magazine will significantly expand its activities and maintain greater presence at various sporting events. It is also more likely to initiate and support charitable projects at the federal level, which is particularly crucial on the eve of the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi.

MEDIACRAT was commissioned by OPIN to develop corporate identity and marketing materials for its premium-class residential community Park Rublevo. “Among the materials that we developed were the logo, corporate colors, scripts, business documentation and accessories, as well as a B2C brochure. Austere and concise design and color choice – black and golden – emphasize the elite-oriented appeal,” explains Igor Borisenko, Creative Director at MEDIACRAT.

Founded in 2002, OPIN is one of the leading real estate development groups operating in Moscow and the Moscow Region.

Creative management of the project is provided by MEDIACRAT.

In May, BRICS Business Magazine partnered with two influential forums in Russia and the U.S. The publication supported XV Tomsk Innovation Forum and Doing Business with the BRICS conference in Washington, D.C. as a media partner.

Alexey Miller, Chairman of the Board of Gazprom, Anatoly Chubais, Chairman of the Board of Rosnano and Dmitry Konov, CEO of Sibur, among others, shared their insights on this issue. The conference in Washington, D.C. was centered on the analysis of trade relations with and among BRICS nations.
