PoliticsRussia brands Novaya Gazeta a ‘foreign agent,’ three years after doing the same to its Nobel-winning editor
Russia’s Justice Ministry has designated the independent newspaper Novaya Gazeta a “foreign agent,” while also listing several individuals and the journal Istoricheskaya Ekspertiza. It published the names of more than 100 people affiliated with the paper, who face additional disclosure requirements but not the restrictions applied to foreign agents. Novaya Gazeta stopped its print edition in 2022, and its editor-in-chief, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Dmitry Muratov, received the same designation in 2023.
