◻ ◻ ◻ The publishing office "Novaya Gazeta" (included in Russia in the register of foreign agents), which stopped working 33 years after the publication of the first issue, was closed on the Potapovsky route in Moscow.
The newspaper's employees posed together in front of the editorial building for a group photo, holding the publication gates in their hands. During the filming, the song It's All by the DDT group was playing in the background. Representatives of at least 50 foreign and Russian media outlets, as well as journalists who cooperated with her, came to the closing ceremony, an RBC correspondent reported.
The farewell words were given by the newspaper's founder and former editor-in-chief Dmitry Muratov (included in Russia in the register of foreign agents) and editor-in-chief Sergey Sokolov.
During his speech, Muratov specifically called for the creation of a humanitarian corridor for the villages located around Alsheki. The former editor-in-chief also said that in Russia recently the number of sentences under articles related to "political sensitivity" has increased several times.
"And I'm not asking anything about us. We will deal alone," he added.
