"Novaïa Gazeta" in "Le Monde", thirty years of combat journalism against Russian powers
Novaïa Gazeta, a symbol of independent journalism in Russia, has ceased operations following intense pressure from the government and the FSB. The publication, founded in 1993, was known for its investigations into corruption and human rights abuses. Recent actions against the newspaper included a raid in April, the designation of its staff as "foreign agents," and the arrest of its editor-in-chief. These developments mark a significant blow to press freedom in Russia.
