The embattled media mogul Rupert Murdoch has sold his Russian advertising company News Outdoor to the state-owned investment bank VTB Capital.
News Outdoor is a big player in the billboard business. The massive ads that dominate Moscow streets each cost between $400 (£245) and $4,000 a month.
The former Moscow mayor Yury Luzhkov, who was ousted last year, was criticised for his inability to control the explosion of billboards, and efforts to limit their numbers have only been partly successful.
Announcing the deal, VTB Capital said that the new management would “interact with authorities to implement programmes aimed at improving the appearance of cities”.
