Independent Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta stops: 'We have been murdered'

Novaya Gazeta ceases to exist due to pressure from Russian authorities, according to Sokolov. The editorial team states they have been forced out and their resources taken away. They describe this as a betrayal of the constitution and a crime occurring before the world's eyes. The newspaper, a key independent media outlet in Russia, has not printed since the Ukraine invasion in February 2022. Founder Dmitry Muratov won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2021.
