"They killed us." Novaya Gazeta ends after pressure from Russian authorities
Novaja gazeta, a prominent Russian independent newspaper, announced its closure after over 30 years due to pressure from authorities. The publication will cease operations on November 9, following the eviction from its long-time office and the blocking of its donation system. The editor-in-chief stated that the newspaper's existence is ending under constant threat of repression. The paper, known for its investigations into corruption and human rights abuses, has faced significant challenges, including being labeled a foreign agent. Several journalists associated with it have been murdered, including Anna Politkovskaya. The closure reflects the increasing restrictions on independent media in Russia.
