Repressionen: Aus für kremlkritische „Nowaja Gaseta“: „Hat uns getötet“
Die „Nowaja Gaseta“ ist eine der kritischsten Stimmen in Russland. Vor mehr als 30 Jahren gründete der inzwischen mit dem Friedensnobelpreis geehrte Dmitri Muratow die Zeitung. Nun muss sie schließen.
The once-prolific Russian newspaper "Nowaja Gaseta," founded by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Dmitry Muratov, has ceased operations after more than three decades and intense pressure from Russian authorities. In a statement on its website, the newspaper declared, "We have been killed by the Russian authorities and intelligence services," announcing the closure of its editorial offices on November 9, shutting down its servers and ceasing publication entirely.
"Nowaja Gaseta" remains one of the most outspoken critics of the Kremlin, having faced constant scrutiny and threats of repression since its founder's 2021 Nobel Peace Prize win, when he was classified as an "outsider agent." The newspaper's closure follows months of intense pressure, including the recent search of its Moscow offices in April and its classification as an "outsider agent" in September.
