London (MOREL) - Vodilni britanski mediji so namenili izredno veliko pozornost ruskemu milijarderju Aleksandru Lebedevu, ki je konec januarja začel sklepna pogajanja z lastniki londonskega, liberalno usmerjenega dnevnika Independent. Lebedev je kontroverzna osebnost, bivši agent KGB-ja. Spremenil se je v zagovornika poslovne transparentnosti in svobode tiska, je oster kritik Kremlja, ki pa mu je pred kratkim za 450 milijonov dolarjev prodal svoj delež v ruski letalski družbi Aeroflot in finančni korporaciji Iljušin. Če bo dobil v last Independent, potem bo to že njegov drugi britanski časopis v njegovi lasti, saj je nedavno prevzel tudi večerni časopis Evening Standard.
