For the last three decades, Novaya Gazeta has been one of the most high-profile independent news outlets in Russia.
"The newspaper is no more. The Russian authorities and Russian special services have forced the paper to stop its work."
Novaya Gazeta has received an eviction order. Crucially, at the same time, the system that had allowed the paper to receive donations from readers was disabled.
"The courts have been destroyed along with the law. Having personal convictions is now state treason."
