LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

More than anything, I would be happy if GQ had real competition. Because competition helps
you grow. Yes, in Russia there are other men’s magazines, even very good ones, and many of
our friends work there. But there isn’t a single magazine other than GQ where you can find
such cool and unique expertise on fashion, style, and lifestyle. Information for an ambitious,
modern man who establishes goals and achieves them. A man who is interested both in the
world around him and in his place therein. A man who is interested in living life at the fullest.

What spurs us on in the absence of competition? Our readers. They’re smart, demanding,
but at the same time grateful. The most important principle of GQ: “Think about the reader.”
We love our readers and change along with them. We monitor what the reader needs, how
he feels, what he finds interesting today that he didn’t find interesting yesterday. We try to
understand what the reader will find interesting tomorrow. Sometimes we make the right
guesses, sometimes we don’t – but more often than not we do.

Historically, GQ has had a very strong team. I worked in GQ when there were totally different
people here, so I’m able to compare. Both then and now the best people in the industry
worked in our magazine. Before coming to GQ my deputy Elena Smolina was the Editor-in-
Chief of a film journal, and she knows more about film – both Russians and Hollywoods –
than any other journalist in the country. Her engagement in the industry helps us get to
stars that other magazines can’t, and allows us to show our readers an unexpected side of
them. Our editor Andrei Zolotov is a man with an ideal understanding of his audience. Our
creative director, the Australian Brendan Allthorpe, is the best art director today in Russia,
one of the few people who is able to seamlessly wed the commercial and the creative. And
of course there’s our fashion department, which has its own stars — Katya Melnikova, Vadim
Galaganov, Alla Alekseevskaya.

We get to where our readers want us to be. We release our issues in print, on the web, on
your phone, on an iPad, on social media. The iPad version comes out once a month, just
like the print edition. On our side we post new articles every day — some that were in the
magazine, others that are new. “Think about the reader.” If you carefully and correctly follow
that maxima, the reader feels it, respects it, responds in the same way and stays with you
a long time. Which is exactly what is happening at GQ.

                                                                             Editor-in-Chief
