Facing Truth in Repressive Regimes

This chapter explores the formidable challenges that journalists in Russia encounter, particularly an investigative journalist dedicated to uncovering the truth against government oppression. It highlights the founding of Novaya Gazeta and the legacy of journalists like Anna Politkovskaya, whose courage endures in the face of increasing repression. A recent Nobel Prize awarded to a journalist serves as both recognition and a stark reminder of the ongoing struggle for press freedom in authoritarian contexts.
