After four years full-time at @meduza_en, I'm moving on. I'll still be in Riga, where I'm taking over as editor of @novayagazeta_en. Send your pitches my way, or reach out if you're interested in translating. I'm also still available for freelance work.

Friday was my last day at Meduza. I'm still figuring out what's next, but I fully intend to keep my focus on Russia’s war against Ukraine. If you need a writer or editor for a project, don’t hesitate to reach out here or on LinkedIn! https://t.co/tSiH2DXGuO

putin doesn't seem to be doing too well -- so what can he get from Trump's ongoing destruction of Nato and the liberal order? I had a good conversation with Sam Breazeale from Meduza, take a listen:

Venezuela looks like a defeat for Moscow, but is it actually a gift to Putin’s worldview? The Naked Pravda asked political scientist Seva Gunitsky and Russian oil-industry expert Craig Kennedy about "spheres of influence" and Moscow's money problems. https://t.co/1AuyHPqUKx

For The Naked Pravda, I spoke to @TheAtlantic’s @shustry about Andriy Yermak’s resignation, Trump’s latest push for Russia–Ukraine negotiations, and Zelensky’s transformation and future. Take a listen!

Latvia has the highest femicide rate in Europe — ranking above Russia. Its parliament just voted to exit a treaty protecting women from violence. Meduza spoke to @beajonite about what this withdrawal would mean and whether it might still be avoided.

Support @meduza_en . They do fantastic work.

[Anton Barbashin @ABarbashin]

.@meduza_en calls for immediate support, otherwise they are going to crash.
I got to say - they are the best independent Russian media that does extensive coverage of everything that you need to know about Russia.

And there you have it: Putin came all the way to Alaska just to give the same spiel he’s been repeating since starting the full-scale invasion of Ukraine — just from a bigger podium. https://t.co/4COIwOW8IW @meduza_en

[Kevin Rothrock @MrKevinRothrock]

Yours truly and company are live-blogging the Alaska summit today.

It’s long been too dangerous for our readers in Russia to support us financially. Luckily, we have more than 3 million readers abroad — but only 2 of every 1,000 donate monthly. Unless that changes, we won’t last much longer.

You’ve heard of the Chicago Pope — now meet the Philly Lama.

I spoke to someone I’d been wanting to interview for years: Telo Tulku Rinpoche, who served as the head of Buddhists in Russia’s Kalmykia for decades until he denounced the war in 2022.

Our father, Derk Sauer, has passed away. It’s an immeasurable loss, and no words can truly capture what a remarkable father and husband he was. He dedicated his life to defending independent Russian media. In his final days, he asked that people continue to support the free press

⚡ Former Kursk Governor Roman Starovoit, who was dismissed by Putin earlier today as Russia’s transport minister, has reportedly been found dead in his home in an apparent suicide.

My report from NATO defense ministers’ last meeting in Brussels before the Alliance’s annual summit in The Hague later this month.

[Meduza in English @meduza_en]

NATO defense ministers met to discuss new, bolder defense plans and spending targets ahead of the bloc’s upcoming summit. Here’s what officials had to say about the new plans, the threat of future Russian aggression, and Ukraine’s Operation Spiderweb.

"And then I’d sit in on yet another [online] safety training for journalists, listening to exiles telling me how important it is to 'follow safety protocols' — and it would drive me up the wall."
More invaluable reporting from @lilia_yapparova.
