Russia's Novaya Gazeta closes Moscow office after three decades of independent reporting

Novaya Gazeta, an independent Russian newspaper known for criticizing the Kremlin, has shut its Moscow office after thirty years. The closure follows growing government pressure and ongoing restrictions placed on independent media outlets. Journalists at the paper expressed grief over losing the office and reflected on the legacy of their investigative work. Some staff have moved abroad, where they continue to report under the publication Novaya Gazeta Europe.
