The editor-in-chief of Novaya Gazeta, Nobel Peace Prize winner Dmitry Muratov was attacked in a train carriage. The publication itself reports this.

“They poured oil paint with acetone in the compartment. Eyes burn terribly. Train Moscow-Samara. Oily smell all over the car. Departure has already been delayed by 30 minutes. I'll try to wash off. He shouted: “Muratov, here you are for our boys,” Muratov quoted the publication as saying.

Earlier, Novaya Gazeta, like many major Russian publications, stopped working due to risks for journalists after the law on “fakes about the actions of the Russian army” came into force, providing for up to 15 years in prison for covering Russia’s war against Ukraine.

On April 7, it became known that journalists from Novaya Gazeta launched the publication Novaya Gazeta. Europe”, Kirill Martynov became the editor-in-chief.
