History
It was founded as an organ of the Mossovet, later as an organ of the city committee of the CPSU and the Mossovet.
In 1948, annual competitions in skeet shooting for the prize of the newspaper "Vechernyaya Moskva" began (the winner of these competitions received a special crystal cup as a reward).[3]
In 1969, the newspaper's circulation was 30 thousand copies.[4] Since 1990, it has been published by the joint-stock company Concern 'Vechernyaya Moskva'.[5]
This is the oldest evening newspaper in Russia, one of the most popular in Moscow with a current circulation of 25,000 copies per day plus 787,000 copies of weekly edition.[6]
In 2011, the project was restarted and developed with the support of the Government of Moscow as a city newspaper of influence covering the major events in the capital, the work of urban services, governance, and the main events in the country and in the world.[7]
