Russia: Novaya Gazeta shuttered

Le Monde pays tribute to the newspaper’s resilience:

“Since February 2022, its journalists have continued their work as best they could, despite the newspaper having had its licence revoked and its website blocked. … Factual yet cautious, strictly adhering to increasingly repressive laws and imposing ever-greater self-censorship on itself, Novaya Gazeta refrained from reporting on current events at the front, as even the slightest mention of military matters in an article would have risked prosecution for ‘spreading disinformation’. Everything was implied between the lines.”
