'They killed us' – Pressure from Russian authorities forces closure of Novaya Gazeta

Novaya Gazeta will cease operations on November 9 due to pressure from Russian authorities, marking the end of its 30-year history. The staff criticized the government's actions as anti-constitutional, highlighting the severe restrictions on human rights and freedoms in Russia. Founded in 1993, the outlet was known for investigative journalism, facing increasing censorship since the Ukraine war began. Many journalists have faced violence or legal issues, and the publication's media license was revoked. The staff emphasized that their closure reflects broader societal repression in Russia.
