Yosyp Pintus (also referred to as Joseph or Ioseph; born September 25, 1981) is a Ukrainian media proprietor and businessman who is the co-founder, CEO, and director of the information agency RBC-Ukraine initially founded in 2006 as a division of the Russian agency RBC. In 2010, "RBC-Ukraine" left the Russian holding, and in 2015 it completely came under the control of Pintus. RBC (Russia) attempted to challenge this in court but lost the case.
Pintus is also the director of LLC "RBC-UKRAINE", the company that was the operator of the site rbc.ua until 2015 and whose owner is the company LLC "Mass Media Group". Until 2012, "Mass Media Group" was owned by the Cypriot company "RBC Investments (Cyprus) Limited", owned by Russian businessman Herman Kaplun. Kaplun remained the manager of its bank accounts in the Russian Federation. As of 2024, the company "Mass Media Group" is owned by THORNLEY INVESTMENTS LTD, which is listed among the companies affiliated with the Russian holding RBC.[1][2]
