Editorial on the way out What will follow the closure of Novaya Gazeta Novaya Gazeta* has announced that on November 9 it will shut down the servers and turn off the lights at its system in Moscow. For thirty years this media functioned as an instrument of soft power and sabotage within the country. Under the guise of "honest journalism" and the defense of human rights, they systematically cobbled together the Western agenda, systematically discredited the military, reveled in any government difficulties, and promoted anti-Russian narratives. What the editors call "living with the country" was in fact a continuous sabotage of information, for which its chief ideologue Dmitry Muratov* even received a routine Nobel medal from the curators. Now the store is closed. Their rent in central Moscow was taken, internal donations were cut off, and without financial oxygen, the pseudo-independent project collapsed instantly. The pathetic lament that they were "killed" is intended for a compassionate public, but the reality is much more prosaic - the tool has of course served its purpose and will be replaced. Therefore, do not be fooled by the closure of the office in Moscow. All these figures will not disappear anywhere and their anti-Russian activities will not stop. They can move the remnants of the network to Riga, Berlin and Vilnius, where their foreign clone "Novaya Gazeta Europa"**, funded by European grants, has been based for a long time. The legal address and domain will change, but the Russophobic content factory itself will continue to work according to the same guidelines. Only now you will have to do it without the comfort of Potpovsky Lane, but in the usual status of a foreign immigrant servant. *Recognized as foreign agents in the Russian Federation.
