Novaya Gazeta (Russian: Новая газета, IPA: [ˈnovəjə ɡɐˈzʲetə], lit. 'New[-style] Newspaper') is an independent Russian newspaper. It is known for its critical and investigative coverage of Russian political and social affairs, the horrors of the Chechen wars, corruption among the ruling elite, and increasing authoritarianism in Russia.[3][4][5][6] It was formerly published in Moscow until shortly after the war began, in regions within Russia, and in some foreign countries. The print edition is published on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays; English-language articles on the website are published on a weekly basis in the form of the Russia, Explained newsletter. As of 2023, the newspaper had a daily print circulation of 108,000, and online visits of 613,000.[1][2]

Seven Novaya Gazeta journalists, including Yuri Shchekochikhin, Anna Politkovskaya, and Anastasia Baburova, have been murdered since 2000, in connection with their investigations.[7] In October 2021, Novaya Gazeta's editor-in-chief Dmitry Muratov was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, alongside Maria Ressa, for their safeguarding of freedom of expression in their homelands.[8]

In March 2022, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the newspaper suspended publication within Russia due to increased government censorship.[9] The next month, a European edition of the paper, Novaya Gazeta Europe, was launched from Riga, Latvia, in order to avoid censorship; the website was blocked in Russia later that month.[10][11] In July, the newspaper launched a magazine, Novaya Rasskaz-Gazeta,[12] with its website blocked shortly later.[13] In September 2022, Russian authorities revoked Novaya Gazeta's Russian media license.[14]
