Founded in 1995 in New York City, V Novom Svete (В Новом Свете, In the New World) was the most popular weekly newspaper among the fourth wave of immigrants from the former USSR, which began in the late 1980s.
The first issue of V Novom Svete was published on March 10, 1995, right after a prominent journalist, Vladislav Listiev, was killed in Russia. Tapping into readers’ appetites for salacious news stories and taking advantage of the new sensationalist trend in Russian journalism, V Novom Svete found a formula for success: it combined reprints from Moskovskii Komsomolets (Московский комсомолец, Moscow Komsomolets), a popular Moscow-based daily newspaper known for its topical reporting on social and political issues, with original stories written by US-based Russian-speaking authors. – Publisher
