The winter weather has made a surprise for us. So, we decided to surprise our readers too. Now, you see the first Antique.Info magazine issue of the year. The beginning of a new year is a proper time for renovations. In our magazine, we also introduced a considerable number of novelties. Particularly, these novelties concern our magazine appearance and determine now its form. Not only the size of the magazine copy has changed, the principle of content presenting is a new one. We hope that it will improve our product and make it more attractive for you, our dear readers.
The magazine retains its recognizable looks and is as informative and interesting as it was in the past. We wish you all the best things in the year that has come.
Maxim Chernykh,
Chief Executive Officer of CJSC Russian Antiques,
Editor-in-Chief of the Antiq.Info magazine
