		Vladislav Listyev's death sent a shudder through Russian media - not only because he was one of the country's most popular television anchormen, but because his death showed that no journalist in Russia is safe from the rule of the gun.
		Listyev and the council of directors for the new company - which does not yet exist - had decided to put a complete moratorium on advertising for at least five months until they could develop a new structure that would bring more of the proceeds into Ostankino and provide less room for corruption.
		Listyev was going to have to resign his position in VID, although I think it would be naive to assume that he would relinquish all financial interest in it.

		The head of the Russian Journalists' Union stated that Listyev's murder was the result of "a struggle among political parties and financial groups for power and money." Some believe Listyev may have been murdered because he resisted a corrupt advertising cartel.

		Under Listyev, all advertising sales were to be temporarily suspended while strict regulations were devised to make sure the station received its fair share of ad revenue.

		The elimination of prominent Russian figures, particularly of members of so-called "business circles," has long been part of everyday life, and according to the politician Grigori Yavlinsky, the death of Listyev was the 19th "contract hit" by hired assassins since the beginning of this year.
