“They have killed us.” That is how the statement from Novaya Gazeta, the last opposition newspaper still operating within Russia, begins, announcing the end of its activities due to persecution by the authorities. In the last few hours, workers have been evicted from their headquarters in the center of Moscow and all their sources of funding have been cut off. This is why the editorial staff, fearing that the repression would intensify even further, explained that they have no choice but to shut down permanently on November 9, after thirty-three years in operation.
