Returning to the podcast filmmaker Julia Loktev ("The Loneliest Planet", "Day Night Day Night") and the editor Michael Taylor. The two have a new documentary project called "My Undesirable Friends: Part 1 — Last Air in Moscow" which is broken into 5 episodes and is screening as part of the New York Film Festival's main slate. This from the New York Film Festival website: American filmmaker Loktev, born in the Soviet Union, returned to Moscow in 2021 to make a documentary on the persistence of independent journalism in Putin's Russia—just months, as it turned out, before the country's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. With her friend Anna Nemzer, a talk show journalist for TV Rain, Russia's last remaining independent news channel, Loktev ends up immersing herself with a group of young women fighting to ensure the vocalization of dissent and outspoken criticism of the country—even as they are branded by the government as “foreign agents,” their careers and lives increasingly at risk as the country creeps toward war. Structured in five chapters, Loktev's film, the climactic days of which were filmed in Moscow during the first week of the invasion, when most independent journalists fled the country, is an extraordinary vérité document of a moment of immense change and anxiety, as well as a vital depiction of the eternal hope that so many in Russia hold for living in a democratic state. Screening in two parts: Chapters 1–3 (198m), Chapters 4–5 (124m).

Putin expected Ukraine to roll over in days when he launched the full-scale war in February 2022. But this was a tragic misreading of the Ukraine people and their relationship with their leaders and system of government – which they were prepared to fight for and lay down their lives for. Instead of a small victorious war, Putin has become entangles in a quagmire that has now claimed more Russian lives than 10 years of war in Afghanistan. That war helped to accelerate the collapse of the Soviet Union – so what awaits Russia now it is in a much less stable situation under sanctions and potential defeat. ---------- SPEAKER: Konstantin von Eggert MBE is a freelance journalist, commentator, and communications consultant.

Na de inval van Rusland in Oekraïne ontvluchtten veel Russische journalisten hun land. Onafhankelijke journalistiek was niet meer mogelijk. Drie grote namen landden in Amsterdam. De progressieve Moscow Times, TV Rain en online platform Meduza bedrijven vanuit onze hoofdstad nog steeds kritische, onafhankelijke journalistiek. Groene-redacteuren Rutger van der Hoeven en Margreet Fogteloo verdiepten zich in deze wereld, het Moskou aan de Amstel. Ze bezochten de redacties en spraken met verslaggevers. Hun Russische collega-journalisten blijken dapper en gewetensvol, maar somberheid ligt op de loer. Ook andere redacties uit dictaturen vinden hun toevlucht in Amsterdam. Kunnen zij hun werk nog wel goed doen van zo'n grote afstand? Hoe zien hun levens er nu uit?

In September 2021, Russian applied a Foreign Agent law to citizens who report or share information on crime, corruption and especially themes related to the military and security services. But the origins of the law go back much further, to 2012, when Russia started to regulate Public Associations, NGOs and other private financial entities. At first the law was likened to US legislation that limits the activities of lobbyists employed by foreign governments. But since its introduction, the scope of the law has been progressively expanded. Now it can be described as a blunt and indiscriminate weapon that's being used to crush every vestige of civil society and independent media in Russia. Today, I'm discussing the impact of the Foreign Agent law on journalism, civil society organisations and political opposition, and we'll be looking at the effect it has had on some specific groups and individuals, such as Echo Moscow, TV Rain, and Navalny's team, as well as the work of Memorial.

Šajā “Atmaskots” podkāsta epizodē piedāvājam noklausīties fragmentus no “Latvijas Avīzes” intervijas ar Valsts kancelejas Stratēģiskās komunikācijas koordinācijas departamenta vadītāju Rihardu Bambalu. Viņš vērtē skandālu ar Krievijas telekanālu “Doždj” (TV “Rain”), kuram Latvijas Nacionālā elektronisko plašsaziņas līdzekļu padome (NEPLP) nesen atņēmusi apraides atļauju, kā arī izsaka savus pieņēmus par to, vai pareizāk runāt par “Putina karu” vai “Krievijas karu”. Intervijā R. Bambals pamato, kāpēc būtu jāatturas lietot iepriekš tik populāro apzīmējums “viltus ziņas” (fake news) un izsaka pieņēmumus, kas varētu stāvēt aiz nesen medijiem izsūtītā nepatiesā paziņojuma par uzņēmama “Itera Latvija” vadītāja Jura Savicka nāvi, uz kura uzķērās vairāki vadošie Latvijas interneta portāli, ieskaitot sabiedrisko mediju portālu “LSM.LV”.

Israel's incoming government, elected six weeks ago, is shaping up as the most extreme in the country's history - waging war on media workers, then trying to cover up its crimes.But evidence of those crimes frequently ends up online thanks to citizen journalism and satellite imagery - and that is making an impact, often bigger abroad than at home.Contributors:Yara Hawari - Senior policy analyst, al-ShabakaDiana Buttu - Human rights lawyer & former adviser to the PLOJoshua Leifer - Contributing editor, Jewish CurrentsDaniel Levy - President, US/Middle East ProjectOn our radar:Just five months after fleeing Moscow and setting up shop in the Latvian capital, Riga, independent Russian broadcaster, TV Rain, or Dozhd, has had its broadcasting licence revoked, once again.

Pēc tam, kad Nacionālā elektronisko plašsaziņas līdzekļu padome (NEPLP) šonedēļ atņēma apraides atļauju Krievijas neatkarīgajam televīzijas kanālam TV "Rain", kas plašāk pazīstams ar nosaukumu "Doždj", Latvijas Radio ierakstu sērijā "Cilvēks ziņu virsrakstos" sarunājās un centās izzināt "Doždj" galveno redaktoru Tihonu Dzjadko. Dienu pirms NEPLP lēmuma pasludināšanas par apraides atļaujas anulēšanu "Doždj" Latvijas Radio satika Dzjadko pie Ziemassvētku tirdziņa Vecrīgā. Aiz izgreznotajiem namiņiem, kur pārdod karstvīnu, mirdzēja lielā egle un skaisti sniga sniegs, bet viņš stāvēja vientuļš, skumjš un nomākts. Atzinās, ka nevar sakopot domas. Sarunas laikā Dzjadko labi nostādītā balss atkal skanēja pārliecinoši, nervozu atmosfēru radīja tikai īsziņas, kas nepārtraukti pienāca uz galda noliktajā telefonā. Cerība, ka NEPLP, novērtējot šī telekanāla lomu Krievijas noziedzīgās politikas izgaismošanā, pēc trim noteikumu pārkāpumiem tomēr vēl dos iespēju labot ēterā pieļautās kļūdas, izdzisa otrdienas rītā.  Valstiskā līmenī sagaidītai Latvijā ar sirsnīgu atbalstu, "Doždj" komandai nākas sākt apsvērt jaunus nākotnes scenārijus. Dzjadko Latvijas Radio atzinās: no sirds negrib braukt prom. Viņa dzīve šogad bijusi izkaisīta starp trim valstīm. Kopā ar sievu Jekaterinu Kortikadzi, kas arī ir raidījumu vadītāja "Doždj", un tolaik vēl nepilnus divus gadus veco dēlu Mihailu marta sākumā viņi aizbēga no Krievijas uz Gruziju. Tur joprojām strādā daļa "Doždj" komandas. Dzjadko un Kotrikadze Latvijā ieradās 11. jūlijā. Viņai ir pusaugu dēls no iepriekšējām attiecībām, bet Dzjadko – divi bērni. Tāpat kā ukraiņu atvasēm, arī Krievijas opozīcijas žurnālistu bērniem dzimtās mājas atņēma karš.

La télévision russe dissidente Dojd, a perdu depuis le 8 décembre son autorisation d'émettre en Lettonie, un pays de l'Union européenne. Les motifs qui justifient cette interdiction disent toute la vigilance mais aussi l'incompréhension des autorités lettones vis-à-vis de près de 300 journalistes russes réfugiés sur leur territoire. Ces journalistes ont leur médias que ce soit Meduza, installé depuis 2014, Novaïa Gazeta, le journal en russe et en letton, mais aussi la rédaction moscovite de la Deutsche Welle et, depuis juillet Dodj ou TV Rain, la grande chaîne russe indépendante créée en 2010 et qualifiée d'« agent de l'étranger » par Moscou. Ils ont beau être indépendants, dissidents, avoir fui leur pays après l'invasion de l'Ukraine et une loi punissant de 15 ans de prison toute vérité jugée mensongère, ces médias n'en restent pas moins russes. Méfiance  Alors, lorsque Dojd publie une carte météo de la Russie, on y trouve la Crimée. Lorsqu'elle reçoit des témoignages de femmes de soldats engagés sur le front, elle suggère d'envoyer de l'équipement aux combattants. Pire peut-être, aux yeux du régulateur letton, elle omet de traduire ses programmes en langue lettone. Dojd n'a donc plus le droit d'émettre en Lettonie, c'est la loi, après trois manquements en un an. La chaîne a eu beau plaider l'erreur individuelle et licencier l'auteur de l'appel à un soutien aux troupes, elle ne peut plus compter que sur YouTube pour toucher la population russophone, avec pas moins de 14 millions de vues en Russie. Le Kremlin a ironisé en disant « certains pensent qu'ailleurs, c'est mieux que chez soi ». Ce qui est sûr, c'est que malgré sa dénonciation des crimes en Ukraine, Dojd s'est aussi heurté à une campagne anti-russe en Lettonie où l'on vient de renoncer à l'enseignement de la langue de Tolstoï et de détruire des monuments à la gloire de l'Armée rouge. La Lettonie ne compte que sur l'Otan Il suffit de rencontrer à Riga des journalistes lettons, comme l'a fait une délégation du prix Albert Londres fin novembre, pour se rendre compte que, n'est pas du tout comprise dans ce pays la position d'Emmanuel Macron vis-à vis de la Russie. La théorie chère à Kennedy selon laquelle il ne faut pas « humilier l'adversaire », l'idée qu'il faut continuer malgré tout à maintenir le lien avec Poutine, la vision française d'après laquelle il ne pourra y avoir de négociations sans garantie pour la sécurité de la Russie, tout cela apparaît incompréhensible. Aurélie Royet-Gounin, l'ambassadrice de France à Riga, a beau expliquer que cette position de la France permet à l'Union européenne d'être un acteur actif dans la recherche d'une solution, rien n'y fait. On sent qu'après deux occupations soviétiques, les médias lettons ne veulent pas entendre parler d'une voie franco-allemande entre la Russie et l'Otan. Un Otan qui reste pour eux le seul rempart protecteur. ► À lire aussi : Lettonie: le média russe en exil Dojd sommé de cesser d'émettre ses programmes

Latvia has cancelled the licence of Russia's last independent media channel TV Rain only five months after it began broadcasting in exile, accusing the channel of showing support for Russia's war in Ukraine. In response, TV Rain, or Dozhd, has called the decision "unfair and absurd". Emily Tamkin and Katie Stallard in Washington DC are joined by Ido Vock in Berlin to discuss TV Rain's turbulent history and why Latvia has branded it a threat to national security, the importance of independent Russian media, and the struggle for Russian political exiles to understand their place in the conflict. Elsewhere, the Democrat Raphael Warnock has beaten the Republican Herschel Walker in Georgia's run-off election to retain his place in the Senate. This is the first time since 1934 that the president's party has defended every incumbent Senate seat. The team discuss the key takeaways from Warnock's victory, the series of scandals that have plagued Walker's career, and if Warnock, a star on the rise, has presidential ambitions.

Irānā pēc vairāku mēnešu protestiem esot izformēta Tikumības policija un notiekot arī darbs pie likumu mīkstināšanas, kas pieprasa sievietēm nēsāt tradicionālo galvassegu. Tas liek domāt, ka arī tik represīvā režīmā, kāds ir Irānā, protestiem ir nozīme. Francijas prezidenta Emanuela Makrona rosinājums nākotnē meklēt drošības garantijas Krievijai demonstrē Rietumu bažas, kas notiks ar mūsu kaimiņvalsti nākotnē. Rietumvalstis negrib pieļaut Krievijas uzvaru karā, bet, šķiet, nevēlas arī tās sabrukumu. Kas notiek ar Krievijas opozīcijas medijiem, kuri patvērumu atraduši Rietumos. Primāri pievērsties šim tematam mūs mudina notikušais ar telekanālu "Doždj" Latvijā. Aktualitātes vērtē Saeimas deputāts, Eiropas lietu komisijas vadītājs un Rīgas Stradiņa universitātes profesors Andris Sprūds un politologs Kārlis Daukšts. Sazināmies ar žurnālisti Irinu Tumakovu, kura turpina darboties Krievijā pastāvošajā izdevumā "Novaja Gazeta". Krievu neatkarīgie mediji emigrācijā Šī gada pavasaris noslēdza veselu posmu Krievijas mediju vēsturē, kad savu darbību dzimtenē izbeidza pēdējie Kremļa režīmu atklāti kritizējošie izdevumi un raidītāji. Uzsākusi pilna mēroga karu pret Ukrainu, Maskavas vara likvidēja pēdējās pamanāmās opozicionārās izpausmes pašas mājās. Jau dažas dienas pēc iebrukuma pārtrauca iznākt 1993. gadā dibinātais laikraksts „Novaja Gazeta”, kura galvenajam redaktoram Dmitrijam Muratovam pērn tika piešķirta Nobela Miera prēmija. Liela daļa izdevuma darbinieku pameta Krieviju un izveidoja redakciju Rīgā, sākot veidot jaunu izdevumu „Novaya Gazeta. Evropa”. Taciņu uz Rīgu Krievijas neatkarīgajiem medijiem jau 2014. gadā iemina tīmekļa resurss „Meduza”, kas izveidojās, Krieviju pametot neatkarīgās vietnes „Lenta.ru” žurnālistiem. Kolēģu piemēram sekoja telekanāls „Doždj” jeb „TV Rain”, izveidojot redakcijas Francijā, Gruzijā un Nīderlandē ar galveno centru Rīgā un iegūstot Latvijas apraides atļauju. Savukārt raidstacija „Eho Moskvi” pārtrauca darbību marta sākumā un nav to atjaunojusi, daudziem redakcijas darbiniekiem pametot valsti un uzsākot sadarbību ar citiem medijiem vai patstāvīgus tīmekļa projektus. Jāatzīmē, ka individuālo tīmekļa žurnālistu kanālu apjoms, ietekme un auditorija pēdējos mēnešos ļoti nozīmīgi pieaugusi. Piemēram, kanāls, kuru platformā „YouTube” veido jurists un publicists Marks Feigins, nesen sasniedza divus miljonus parakstītāju. Krievijas varas iestādes dara visu iespējamo, lai nepieļautu šo emigrējušo mediju un žurnālistu radītā satura nonākšanu dzimtenē. Tomēr pilnībā tas nav iespējams, ciktāl tīmekļa saturs ir pieejams, izmantojot virtuālo privāto tīklu programmatūru. Kā liecina statistika, šādas programmatūras lietotāju skaits Krievijā kopš februāra pieaudzis 15 reizes, sasniedzot 24 miljonus. Tādējādi ir redzams, ka Rīga šobrīd kļuvusi par emigrējušo Krievijas mediju galveno centru. Grūti gan spriest, kāda šī attīstība varētu būt turpmāk, ievērojot nupat notikušo Latvijas apraides atļaujas atņemšanu telekanālam „Doždj”. Drošības garantijas varmākam? Pagājušajā nedēļā Francijas prezidents Emanuēls Makrons oficiālā valsts vizītē apmeklēja Savienotās Valstis. Vizītes laikā, sniedzot interviju Francijas telekanālam TF1, Makrons izteicās par nākotnes Eiropas drošības arhitektūru un paziņoja: „.. Viens no būtiskiem jautājumiem, kas mums jārisina – kā to vienmēr ir teicis prezidents Putins – ir Krievijas bažas par NATO pietuvošanos tās slieksnim un tādu ieroču izvietošana, kas varētu apdraudēt Krieviju. Šī būs viena no tēmām miera sakarā, tāpēc mums jāsagatavo tas, ko esam gatavi darīt, lai aizsargātu savus sabiedrotos un dalībvalstis, un kā garantijas Krievijai dienā, kad tā atgriezīsies pie sarunu galda.” Pieļāvums par drošības garantijām Kremlim liek atcerēties Francijas līdera nesekmīgos diplomātiskos centienus pirms Krievijas plaša mēroga iebrukuma Ukrainā šī gada februārī, un šī prezidenta Makrona pozīcija jau izpelnījusies asu kritiku no Ukrainas un tās sabiedroto puses. Kā norādījis Ukrainas prezidenta padomnieks Mihailo Podoļaks, ir jādomā nevis par kādām garantijām Krievijai, bet gan par garantijām pārējai pasaulei pret postputiniskās Krievijas barbariskajām tieksmēm. Lietuvas ārlietu ministrs Gabrieļus Landsberģis raksturojis kā „toksisku” uzstādījumu, ka pašreizējo karu varētu beigt nevis ar Ukrainas pilnīgu uzvaru, bet gan vienojoties ar Krieviju. Viņš izteicies, ka nākotnes drošības arhitektūra jābūvē kopā ar Ukrainu, nevis ar Kremļa režīmu. Pasaules mediji plaši citē arī Latvijas aizsardzības ministra Arta Pabrika teikto intervijā izdevumam „Financial Times”, ka ideja par Rietumu drošības garantijām Krievijai nozīmē iekrišanu Putina vēstījuma slazdā, padarot Ukrainu un Rietumus atbildīgus par šī kara izcelšanos. Prezidenta Makrona vizītes laikā par iespējamām sarunām ar Krieviju izteicies arī Savienoto Valstu prezidents Džo Baidens, sakot, ka būtu tām gatavs, ja manītu Krievijas līdera vēlmi izbeigt karu, kas gan pašreiz neesot manāma. Kā zināms, agrāk rietumvalstu līderi vairakkārt deklarējuši, ka neuzsāks sarunas ar Krieviju par kara izbeigšanu bez Ukrainas piekrišanas, savukārt Ukrainas vadība nav atsaukusi savu agrāk deklarēto kategorisko atteikšanos no jebkādām sarunām ar pašreizējo Krievijas līderi. Plaisas islāma republikas varas monolītā Pēdējās dienās parādījušies signāli par iespējamu Irānas teokrātiskā režīma piekāpšanos mēnešiem ilgstošajiem sabiedrības protestiem. Pirmkārt, šai sakarā minami islāma republikas ģenerālprokurora izteikumi pagājušajā sestdienā par to, ka tiek likvidētas t.s. Pamācības patruļas jeb tikumības policija, kā arī parlamentam būtu jāpārskata striktās normas par sieviešu galvas lakata jeb hidžāba valkāšanu. Tikumības policija, kā zināms, ir atbildīga par 22 gadus vecās Mahsas Amini nāvi septembra vidū. Viņas nāve kļuva par detonatoru protestiem, kuri nerimst joprojām. Sieviešu atteikšanās valkāt hidžābu kļuva par protestu vadmotīvu, taču prasībām attiekties no striktajām ģērbšanās normām jau drīz pievienojās aicinājumi uz radikālām izmaiņām valsts sistēmā. Pēc pašreizējās statistikas protestos dzīvību zaudējuši ne mazāk kā 450 cilvēku, t.sk. apmēram 60 nepilngadīgo; vairāk nekā 18 tūkstoši protestējošo ir arestēti. Vai ģenerālprokurora Montazeri izteikumi tiešām iezīmē plaisas teokrātiskā režīma varas monolītā, pagaidām grūti spriest. Tikumības policija nav ģenerālprokuratūras, bet gan Iekšlietu ministrijas pakļautībā, un citas Irānas amatpersonas līdz šim izvairījušās apstiprināt ziņu par tās  likvidēšanu. Tiesa, tiek atzīmēts, ka kopš septembra šo pilsoņu pieskatīšanas patruļu aktivitāte ir pamanāmi mazinājusies. Tomēr daudzi novērotāji un arī protestu dalībnieki pauž viedokli, ka protestu kustība ir izvērtusies pārāk plaša, lai režīms to spētu noklusināt ar šādu piekāpšanos. Britu raidsabiedrība BBC citē kādu protestu dalībnieci sakām: „Mēs, protestētājas, vairs nedomājam par hidžābu. Mēs to nevalkājam nu jau 70 dienas. Mums tagad ir revolūcija. Hidžābs bija tās sākums, bet mēs nevēlamies neko mazāk kā diktatora nāvi un režīma maiņu.” Sagatavoja Eduards Liniņš.  Eiropas Parlamenta granta projekta „Jaunā Eiropas nākotne” programma.* * Šī publikācija atspoguļo tikai materiāla veidošanā iesaistīto pušu viedokli.

Eén van de laatste onafhankelijke tv-zenders van Rusland, TV Rain, zendt nu nieuws uit vanuit Amsterdam, via Youtube. Media-ondernemer Derk Sauer noemt een opvallende reden waarom Youtube nog niet geblokkeerd is in Rusland. Wanneer het Kremlin Youtube blokkeert, dan zou Google op grote schaal apps op Android telefoons van Russen kunnen blokkeren. Maar klopt dit wel? We zochten uit!

Aan tafel zitten Arno Kantelberg, Mireille van Ark en Cathelijne Broers Het Mediamoment van Van Ark gaat over de Russische nieuwszender TV Rain. Ze zitten al een tijdje niet meer in Rusland en zender nu uit vanuit Amsterdam, het is een zender in ballingschap. Hoe komen ze aan hun informatie? En op welke kanalen kunnen ze hun content uitzenden? Ze zijn nog wel te zien in Rusland... Kantelbergs Mediamoment gaat over de Donald Duck. Het vrolijke weekblad bestaat vandaag 70 jaar. Het krijgt een klein monumentje in onze uitzending. Wat is de kracht van deze getekende eend? Hebben onze gasten een abonnement? Kantelberg: "Tijdschriften hebben het moeilijk maar Donald Duck blijft het goed doen" PersVeilig heeft tenminste 25 freelancers geholpen vanwege heftige bedreigingen. De hulp kwam in de vorm van camera's thuis en/of een alarmknop. Is het goed dat er extra op freelancers gelet wordt? Wat is de verantwoording van een organisatie als je een ZZP'er inhuurt? Is journalist inmiddels een gevaarlijk beroep?  In het verlengde hiervan ligt de video van Forum voor Democratie. Hart van Nederland-journalist Merel Ek heeft zich even teruggetrokken na alle reacties op het FvD-filmpje waarin ze werd uitgemaakt voor rioolrat. Hoe reageert de journalistiek hierop? Is het stevig genoeg? En zou eensgezindheid niet hard nodig zijn? We sluiten af met Groot-Brittanië, witte rook op Downingstreet 10. Rishi Sunak is de nieuwe premier van GB en hij wordt bestempeld met vele termen. Jong, rijk en migrant. Willen we graag die stempels? Een karikatuur leidt tot populariteit, zegt Kantelberg

Ukraine has denied any involvement in the explosion. Correspondent Fred Pleitgen takes a closer look at the incident and who the Dugins are. Also providing insight and perspective on the bombing are Masha Gessen, a staff writer for the New Yorker, and Ekaterina Kotrikadze, anchor and news director at TV Rain, Russia's only independent news channel.  Also on today's show: Anya Kamenetz, author of The Stolen Year: How Covid Changed Children's Lives, and Where We Go Now; Erich Schwartzel, author of Red Carpet: Hollywood, China, and the Global Battle for Cultural Supremacy.To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

The Kremlin has been cracking down on independent media since the invasion of Ukraine, and stations like TV Rain became criminalized for how they covered the war. That has meant some news organizations have had to shut down, and some journalists have had to flee the country. Ekaterina Kotrikadze was the host of a weekly foreign affairs show on TV Rain and headed its global news coverage. And Alexey Kovalev is the investigations editor for the independent Russian news site Meduza. Both have fled Russia, and don't know when they'll be able to return.

Investigative reporter Dana Priest speaks with Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) and journalists from TV Rain, which was the last independent media outlet in Russia, about the state of press freedom around the world, the challenges of today's information landscape and the critical role of journalists in chronicling the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Konstantin Eggert, a native Muscovite, has reported on Russia since the fall of the Soviet Union. He started his reporting career in Moscow in 1990. From 1998-2009, he was senior correspondent, then editor-in-chief, of the BBC Russian Service Moscow bureau. Later he worked for ExxonMobil Russia and Russian media outlets, Kommersant and TV Rain.  Now, living in Lithuania, Eggert is a vocal critic of the Putin regime and has more than a few thoughts on censorship in Russia: specifically, how it compares to Soviet censorship, the decline of independent media in the country, Russian history, and the war in Ukraine. Eggert currently works for a German broadcaster, Deutsche Welle.

Save Meduza!https://support.meduza.io/enFollowing the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the Russian authorities imposed military censorship in all but name, annihilating the entire domestic free press. Within a week of Moscow's “special operation in the Donbas,” the television station Dozhd and radio station Ekho Moskvy both shut down, ending 12 and 32 years, respectively, of independent journalism. In late March, after a 28-year run, the newspaper Novaya Gazeta suspended all reporting until the end of the war, citing warnings from the federal censor. Many of the journalists who worked for these outlets have already fled Russia, but they continue their work at new platforms, on their own channels at YouTube, Telegram, and elsewhere. For a better understanding of this new guerilla reporting, The Naked Pravda spoke to two independent journalists now operating from outside Russia to find out how they're managing this job: Farida Rustamova (who uses Telegram and Substack) and Ekaterina Kotrikadze (on Telegram and YouTube). Timestamps for this episode: (2:43) Did Russian independent journalists lose the fight against Kremlin propaganda? (10:23) How has military censorship damaged the quality of reporting and information available from Russia? (18:55) Rustamova's path to Substack. (26:52) Kotrikadze on TV Rain's plans for the future. (36:23) Did Kotrikadze see the full-scale invasion coming?

NPR's Mary Louise Kelly speaks with Tikhon Dzyadko, editor-in-chief of TV Rain, Russia's last remaining independent TV station that recently went off air. He and his family fled to Tbilisi, Georgia.

Since the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Kremlin has made clear — in Vladimir Putin's Russia dissent is not welcome. Still, thousands of Russians have protested the invasion, risking fines, detention, and imprisonment. The rare sources of independent radio and TV news in the country have gone silent, including Echo of Moscow and TV Rain.  Earlier this week, a producer for a government-run television station interrupted a live broadcast holding a sign that read: “Don't believe the propaganda. They're lying to you here.” She was subsequently arrested and detained for nearly 24 hours, before being fined several hundred dollars. Russian lawmakers passed a new law at the beginning of March, making it a crime to spread what they deemed “fake news,” which includes calling the conflict in Ukraine a “war.”  The law includes penalties of up to 15 years in prison. Because of this, several Western media organizations decided to pull their journalists out of Russia. Bloomberg News, CNN and the New York Times have moved their journalists out of the country because of concerns over the new law and their staff's safety.  Even before the invasion began, Russia was ranked 150 out of 180 countries in the Reporters without Borders World Press Freedom Index. We spoke with Anton Troianovski, the Moscow bureau chief for The New York Times about his staff's move out of Russia and Clayton Weimers, Deputy Director of the DC Bureau of Reporters without Borders.

Russia has attacked Ukraine. This is a war. Inside Russia, the authorities have imposed a new level of censorship, blocking all independent media agencies -- including TV Rain and Ekho Moskvy. Throughout the country, anti-war demonstrations have been brutally suppressed, their participants arrested. Prominent figures who have spoken out against the war have been threatened. The authorities and the Kremlin-controlled media (especially the state-owned television networks) have been lying about the war, manipulating public opinion.
