Novaya Gazeta, Russia's last remaining newspaper openly critical of the Kremlin and Moscow's ongoing all-out war in Ukraine, has closed after authorities stripped it of its media registration and severed its ability to operate, the newspaper said. In a statement on 30 October, the paper said security services and censors had "forced the editorial team to cease its activities." The newsroom was ordered to vacate its premises, its reader donation system was shut down, its online resources were blocked, its printing arrangements were terminated, and state censors at printing facilities refused to allow the paper to publish, before its media registration was revoked.
