Read our privacy policy A Russian court has stripped independent newspaper Novaya Gazeta of its licence in a move that has effectively banned it from operating inside the country. Novaya Gazeta, a stalwart of the Russian media scene since it was founded in 1993, was able to carve out a niche as Russia’s leading investigative outlet, even as press freedoms were gradually rolled back. In April, Novaya Gazeta Europa – with Kirill Martynov as editor-in-chief – was set up in the Latvian capital, Riga, to circumvent the Russian government’s laws banning coverage of the invasion that deviates from press statements issued by the Kremlin. After its launch, Mr Martynov said the newspaper would be independent of Novaya Gazeta “both legally and in practice”, and that its newsroom would be staffed with journalists who had left Russia.
