Ruling by Russia’s media regulator comes less than year after its editor won Nobel peace prize
A court in Moscow has stripped Novaya Gazeta of its print media licence, effectively banning the newspaper from operating inside Russia, less than a year after its editor-in-chief, Dmitry Muratov, won the 2021 Nobel peace prize.
Russia’s media regulator, Roskomnadzor, had accused the publication of failing to provide documents related to a change of ownership in 2006.
