Novaya Gazeta, a prominent independent Russian publication, is closing after 30 years due to government repression and financial difficulties. The newspaper, known for its investigative journalism on corruption and human rights abuses, faced systematic sabotage from the Kremlin. Co-founder Dmitri Muratov described the situation as an attempt to destroy the outlet, citing various methods of suppression including blocking websites and designating journalists as 'foreign agents'. The publication has lost significant funding, with banks refusing to process reader donations. The closure follows intensified pressure after the Ukraine invasion, leading to arrests and searches of its staff. Novaya Gazeta announced its end, blaming Russian authorities for forcing its shutdown.
