Novaya Gazeta chiude in Russia, 'uccisi dalle autorità e dai servizi'

Novaya Gazeta announced it will cease operations in Russia on November 9 due to pressure from authorities. The newspaper, labeled a foreign agent, stated it has been forced to shut down after 30 years. The editorial team has faced restrictions since 2022, with some members relocating to continue work under Novaya Gazeta - Europe. The publication also reported that its donation system was disabled, cutting off funding. The situation escalated after the paper was listed as a foreign agent in September 2023, and its co-founder Dmitry Muratov was also designated as such, leading to his resignation. Recent events included the detention of editor Serghei Sokolov for questioning related to a criminal case involving a former employee.
