Statement from Novaya Gazeta;

On March 4, 2022, the Russian parliament finally introduced military censorship without actually declaring it. For “disseminating knowingly false information about the use of the Russian Armed Forces,” we, news journalists, can get up to 15 years in the camps.

“Knowingly false” information is information about prisoners, killed, shelling of civilians in Ukraine. We are asked to admit that none of this happened. Yes, we can say that the path to free journalism is through barracks and barbed wire. All this is very beautiful, but insane nonsense.

The truth is that apart from us and a couple of other newsrooms in the country, there is no one else to do the news work. So we stay until the very end. We do not leave for pre-trial detention centers and colonies. We are not leaving for Europe or Georgia. We stay in Russia, this is our country.

Unfortunately, as soon as the laws of military censorship come into force, we will have to stop publishing reports from the fronts. We will no longer be able to tell the truth about the fighting in Ukraine, leaving the floor to both sides. We will have to temporarily forget about shelling in the cities of our brotherly country. Again, temporarily, we will have to forget about the fate of our soldiers, our peers, who find themselves in hot spots often against their will.......

Military censorship does not cover the fact that the war is going on inside us. How does what is happening affect the mental state of Russians and Ukrainians? What is the future of our economy and our personal finances? Will Russia protest against what is happening? What form will the repression take? What will happen to medicine?.......

....Every day we tell you about what is happening in Russia and the world. Our journalists are not afraid to get the truth to show it to you.

In a country where the authorities constantly want to ban something, including the ban on telling the truth, there should be publications that continue to engage in real journalism.
