Russian opposition newspaper Novaya Gazeta closes2 publishers · first seen Mon, 09 Nov 2026 04:00 UTC · updated Tue, 10 Nov 2026 07:00 UTCThe independent Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta closed on November 9, 2026, in Moscow. Founded in 1993 with the support of Mikhail Gorbachev, the newspaper was stifled by the authorities and had not appeared in print since 2022. Since Vladimir Putin came to power, independent Russian media have been silenced or exiled. The newspaper paid a high price for this commitment: six of its journalists or contributors were killed, including Anna Politkovskaya, who documented war crimes in Chechnya and was assassinated in Moscow in 2006. Since 2022, Novaya Gazeta has had its press license revoked, while several of its journalists and editors have been pressured, detained, and their homes searched.Content auto-generated.
