Novaya Gazeta, Russia’s last major independent newspaper, has shut down operations following decades of publishing, with the editorial team stating that Russian authorities forced the closure.

The newspaper’s closure represents a significant blow to press freedom in Russia and marks the end of one of the country’s most prominent independent voices critical of government policies.

This development reflects the ongoing crackdown on independent media in Russia, particularly following geopolitical tensions and domestic political pressures.
