Novaya Gazeta is one of the few remaining independent media outlets in Russia - still able to provide critical, fact-oriented and objective information to the Russian population within an ever-shrinking media space.
The newspaper’s editor, Dmitry Muratov, has been awarded the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize, and Elena Milashina herself has been awarded several prizes for her courageous work as a journalist.
She is well-known for her investigative articles about human rights abuses in Chechnya, a small republic in the North Caucasus region of the Russian Federation which has sought independence and been subjected to all-out war two times since the fall of the Soviet Union.
In this podcast NUPI researcher Julie Wilhelmsen discuss with Elena Milashina what it takes to cover regions of conflict and heavy human rights abuses.
She will give an updated picture of the situation in the Chechen Republic and tell us why her work is important for the future.
