Comment on YSK that Elena Kostyuchenko is an extraordinarily brave woman.

Several people from Novaya Gazeta founded the offshoot Novaya Gazeta Europe, which continues to work from Latvia, in both Russian and English.

I recommend donating to them if you’d like to support independent reporting in Russia, seeing as Russians and Russian advertisers can’t do that anymore.

Meduza is another outlet that could use your support. They were previously known as Gazeta.ru and Lenta.ru, both of which were captured by pro-government oligarchs. Meduza, in contrast, is owned by its journalists. They were likewise persecuted by the government and had to move out sometime before 2022, so now also can’t take money from Russia despite living on donations and grants.

A couple others are Mediazona and Important Stories.

The original Novaya Gazeta also seems to be current and uncensored, even though they previously stopped in 2022 and apparently work from Russia according to the site’s footer. Dunno anything about that.
