2018
Cheating partners
On July 3, 2013, Alexey Polikarpov, Commercial Director of Thematic Media, contacted TAdviser with an offer to exchange banner advertising campaigns between TAdviser and the blog platform for developers Habrahabr.ru.
On August 19 of the same year, TAdviser fully fulfilled its obligations and received confirmation of this from Thematic Media.
On May 16, 2014, TAdviser sent its own banners for placement in Habrahabr.ru. During the campaign, it was planned to select only a small part of the volume guaranteed by "Thematic Media." The placement was successfully performed.
During the next period, TAdviser did not have any need for advertising designed for the "Habrahabr.ru" audience.
On October 1, 2018, TAdviser sent a letter to Thematic Media with dates to unscrew the remaining volume of banners. The answer was unexpected. A certain Alexander Telitsyn said literally the following:
 | No documents were signed between us (regarding the exchange of banners), and you discussed all agreements with employees who no longer work for us. Now we are ready to offer only a commercial advertising option. |  |
Having initiated the deal, Thematic Media does not recognize the value of email correspondence and unilaterally renounces its own obligations, without even making any apologies. TAdviser views this statement as a direct deception and regrets the appearance on the market of teams whose employees are completely devoid of ideas about business ethics.
Geektimes.com closed
On May 28, 2018, the Geektimes.com, previously allocated by the Thematic Media publishing house from Habrahabr.ru, was closed. All materials were returned to the mother's website.

2014: GeekTimes is singled out from Habrahabr.ru
On October 13, 2014, part of the content of the Habrahabr.ru site is transferred to a separate domain and a blog is launched GeekTimes.ru.
