1. This is not a car service or a factory floor, although production is going on here around the clock. This is where Lenta.ru makes the news. I wanted to put the picture first, but I was afraid that because of it the entry would be transferred to the 18+ category.

2. In July 2010, Afisha merged with Rambler, and after a while both companies moved to a new office at the Danilovskaya Manufactory. Rambler and Lenta.ru previously lived on Avtozavodskaya, and Afisha rented an office for many years in Bolshoy Gnezdnikovsky Lane on Pushkinskaya.

3. In the spring of 2013, they teamed up with colleagues from Livejournal, who also moved into this building. This is how a large communal apartment Afisha-Rambler-SUP turned out

4. Few people wanted to move to Tulskaya - there was no infrastructure at the Danilovskaya manufactory then. Uninhabited buildings, a couple of cafes and not a single normal store.

5. It was planned to design the office in such a way that people would like to live and spend a lot of time in it. It was carried out by the architectural bureau Nefa Research

6. Black-and-white Soviet films add home-like calmness to the editorial atmosphere.

7.

8. Employees of Motor.ru, the automotive publication that grew out of Lenta

9. Editor-in-Chief of Lenta.ru Galina Timchenko is a big fan of Darth Vader. Many try to bring her a souvenir with Dart from her trips.

10. An important argument in disputes is the Kalashnikov assault rifle, also a gift to the chief editor.

11. Constantly updated library of the editor-in-chief of Lenta

12. Four crocodiles - totem animals of Lenta.ru. They have been washed once since 1999. They live in the technical department.

13. Almost all Afisha-Rambler-SUP bosses sit in aquarium cabinets

14. There are no doors between companies. You just walk, and everything around you changes.

15. An old piano is replaced by a dressing Khokhloma...

16. and here we are in the editorial office of Afisha

17. In this negotiation, the editorial boards are held and the topics of the issues are thought out

18. I got in the week when the issue was handed over, and almost all the editors went "to the fields."

19.

20. Afisha-Rambler-SUP office is located in two buildings - 3 and 4-storey. They are connected by a glass walkway, which many refer to as the Alice in Wonderland walkway.

21. It serves for short meetings, when you do not need to book a meeting room, a place of work and rest

22.

23. And this is the marketing department of Rambler

24. No one in the company knows what the wall of this office symbolizes and what the author's idea was.

25. Dmitry Pyanov, Managing Director of Afisha Picnic, is preparing Picnic 2014

29. Office with soft walls of the commercial director of Afisha-Rambler-SUP Inna Ovcharova. I inherited it from the previous director, who conceived it that way. I sat in the chair on the right - it's gorgeous! But I did not dare to try kneeling chairs with priests.

30. Negotiation with a bar table. Previously, he stood in the editorial wing, but now his place was taken by the usual desks of employees and he migrated to the meeting room.

31. "Back door" and the second reception. The revolving door, a rarity, stood in some London hotel, then it began to be demolished, and the former art director of Afisha-Rambler, Irina Voloshina, made sure that she ended up in Moscow.

32.

33. It's great to have Skype calls in this meeting room, you talk on Skype - and you have flags behind your back

34. Employees call this place "Afisha's Dead End".

35. Yes, we were back at the Poster. I can't imagine how employees can navigate in this office. I take a picture in Rambler, turn the camera a little to the right to the next table, they say to me: “No, this is already Livejournal!”. I think you are confused too. We have not yet reached LiveJournal, while it is Afisha.

44. Peter Pavlovich, one of the oldest employees of Rambler, is hiding from the camera in the background, he worked in the company for 13 years, but could not bear my photo and quit last week. Yes, we are back at Rambler.

45. But this photo was taken in the kitchen of LiveJournal

46. SUP now looks something like this. Celestials... Some of the employees are still sitting in the old office on Malaya Dmitrovka.

47.

48. Return to the "Tape"

49.

50. At lunchtime, a tray of cookies is laid out in all the office kitchens. If cookies can lie on other floors until the evening, then journalists quickly take them away. Once, one of the employees tweeted: “@lentaruofficial, there are cookies in the kitchen” - which provoked the fastest looting of a tray in history. If you want to paralyze the newsroom, send a tweet like this at 1pm.

51. And traditionally a photo of the dining room

52. and prices

53. Yes! I still managed to take a picture of the legendary @ChistoLenta - Cleaner of Lenta.ru
