Anton Borisovich Nossik (Russian: Анто́н Бори́сович Но́сик; 4 July 1966 – 9 July 2017) was a Russian journalist, social activist and blogger (10th place in RuNet according to Yandex.Blogs ranking[1]). Sometimes he is called one of the godfathers of the Russian Internet[2][3] or the first Russian-language blogger.[4] He was an editor for the Russian online news publications Vesti.ru, Lenta.ru,[5] Gazeta.ru and NEWSru.com.[6]

Nossik was one of the former managers of Rambler and blogging service holding company SUP Media (participated in this capacity in the LiveJournal service acquisition), and was the founder of Pomogi.org charitable foundation.[7] Since mid-October 2009, he was appointed Deputy General Director of United Media and, concurrently, the position of chief editor Bfm.ru. From 16 November 2011 to 29 November 2012, he was the media director of SUP Media, which owns the LiveJournal service. In mid-2014, he co-founded Fuzzy cheese,[8] a market and public-opinion research company.[9]
