Meta Data

The company Era is de facto owned by the People’s Deputy Andriy Derkach, the Honorary President of which he is. Despite this fact, the company is registered in the name of his Assistant Anton Symonenko. In the interview in 2013, the General Director Lotashevskyi said that the owner of the company is Derkach. In this article “Dear Russian Brodacaster and Crooked Money. Yanukovych’s Companions to Sponsor Ukrainian Radio”, the New Time magazine states that now the radio is sponsored by the companions of Yanukovych who are now in Russia. Common assessments of the radio show it to have pro-opposition content. Transparency is low, no de facto owners are specified.
