Independent Russian daily Novaya Gazeta announced that on November 9, after more than 33 years, it will end its operations. The editorial board stated this in a Friday announcement on its website, citing systematic pressure from Russian authorities and security services as the reason. STVR (Minúta po minúte) ↗
Novaya Gazeta was founded in 1993 and throughout its existence was among the last significant independent media outlets in Russia. In September of this year, the Russian Ministry of Justice designated it a "foreign agent," which further complicated its operation. In its statement, the editorial board accused the authorities and intelligence services of systematic pressure, which it said led to the newspaper's demise. The statement also included the sentence that the authorities "killed" the newspaper. Telex ↗
Former Novaya Gazeta editor-in-chief Dmitry Muratov received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2021 for defending freedom of expression. Throughout its existence, the newspaper repeatedly became a target of criticism and direct attacks by the Russian authorities, and several of its journalists paid for their work with their lives. seznamzpravy.cz ↗
The demise of Novaya Gazeta represents another step in the gradual silencing of the independent Russian press, which has faced intensified pressure from the Kremlin in recent years. Following its designation as a "foreign agent" and repeated problems operating on Russian territory, the editorial board said it had no choice but to end its operations. It remains unclear whether the editorial team will continue working abroad or in some other form. ekonomika.pravda.sk ↗
