As Novaya Gazeta, one of Russia’s best-known independent newspapers, is forced to close after 33 years, three former staffers look back on its legacy
GlobeAlert Desk · curated from Meduza [en] · Eastern Europe
Novaya Gazeta has announced that it is closing. For more than 30 years, it covered Russia’s biggest events and told stories about Russians that readers couldn’t find anywhere else. Many outstanding journalists worked at Novaya. Some were killed for telling the truth. Meduza asked former Novaya Gazeta journalists Ekaterina Glikman, Elena Kostyuchenko, and Nadya Yurova to reflect on three decades of work by one of the country’s most important independent publications, which they were all part of.
