“Behind the wheel” was created on February 23, 1928 on the initiative of journalist Mikhail Koltsov. The history of the magazine is closely intertwined with the history of the country, and we are proud of the high appreciation of the work of the staff of the publication by the President of Russia.
Receiving a telegram in our time is a real event, and if it comes from the first person of the state, it is a doubly significant event.
President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin:
– I congratulate you on a great date – the 95th anniversary of the legendary magazine Za Rulem. Founded in 1928, it has brought together road transport enthusiasts across the country and has grown to become one of the largest and most respected specialty media outlets. The smart, talented publishing editors and devoted friends of the publication have contributed to the development of the auto transport industry, the promotion of driving culture and road safety regulations.
As in previous years, the magazine’s current generation of readers appreciate it for its dignified, careful attitude to established traditions, for current news, analysis, interesting reports and interviews.
And, of course, it is important that you effectively introduce modern technologies, involve the widest audience, Internet users and social networks, in the orbit of car life.
Thank you for your creativity and sincere love for your work. I wish you good luck and all the best.
(To the contributors of the magazine “Behind the wheel”)
We will continue the glorious traditions that have developed over the years of the magazine’s existence. Today, “Behind the Wheel” is no longer just a paper version, it’s a whole holding, where electronic media plays an equally important role – a website and pages in social networks and video hosting sites. But the main thing remained unchanged – “gasoline in the blood” of our authors. Only such people work for us, others do not stay here.
We remember everyone who created the magazine all these years, and remember with special warmth those who stood at its origins.
Thanks everyone for the congratulations!
