Colta.ru (from Italian colta - "harvesting", "educated, enlightened") is a Russian Internet publication covering contemporary art and culture. The first Russian media outlet fully funded by crowdfunding using the “Share” service on the Planeta.ru website. In June 2012, the owner of the OpenSpace.ru portal Vadim Belyaev announced that the portal would change its concept and edition. The team led by editor-in-chief Maria Stepanova left the editorial office of the OpenSpace.ru portal in full force. The OpenSpace.ru portal in its original form worked until the beginning of July 2012. The old editorial board, headed by Maria Stepanova, decided to register a new domain and work there for several months. The OpenSpace.ru archive has been moved there from May 2008 to July 2012.
