Sergej Sokolov, the editor-in-chief of Novaya Gazeta, stated: "We are not saying goodbye. We will certainly think of something. Because Novaya Gazeta is not just pages or a website. It is the idea, the life goal of those who work here. And that cannot be killed. Nor can it be extinguished. We will continue. I am sure that the country, which is going through these difficult times, will finally awaken. As soon as the first signs of that appear, Novaya Gazeta will return to you, our readers and colleagues!" #NovayaGazeta #cenzura #slobodaMedija (translated)
