  "account": "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.",
  "summary": "Novaya Gazeta is one of the most critical voices in Russia. More than 30 years ago, Dmitry Muratov, who has since been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, founded the newspaper. Now it has to close down.",
