Aliona Doletskaya Founder Of Russian Vogue Has Resign From The Magazine After 13 Years

The founding editor-in-chief of Vogue Russia, Aliona Doletskaya, resigned Tuesday, shocking staffers and the fashion world at large. “Aliona’s role in shaping the magazine is so unique that in a certain sense she is irreplaceable,” the president of Condé Nast International, Jonathan Newhouse, said in a memo to staffers obtained by The Daily.

“Some time ago, Aliona Doletskaya told me that she would like to leave the Vogue Russia editor-in-chief’s post, which she has occupied for almost 13 years, and start a new life, probably to write a book or try her hand in a new field,” said Newhouse.
