"They killed us." Novaya Gazeta ends after pressure from Russian authorities

The Russian independent newspaper Novaja gazeta announced its closure after over thirty years, citing pressure from authorities. The publication will cease operations on November 9, following the eviction from its long-time office. The editor stated that the decision was forced by the government, which has restricted the paper's ability to receive funding. Novaja gazeta was known for its investigations into corruption and human rights abuses, and several of its journalists have been murdered. The Nobel Committee urged Russian authorities to stop repressing independent media, emphasizing the closure as a blow to freedom of expression.
