The Prosecutor General's Office classified The Moscow Times as an 'undesirable organization,' stating it undermined Russia's leadership, leading to criminal charges for cooperation.
The Moscow Times, along with other outlets, was labeled 'undesirable' for collaboration, prompting the ban and criminalization of interaction with the publication.
Despite the ban and risks, The Moscow Times expressed determination to continue operating and speaking out against silencing.
Founded in 1992 in Moscow, The Moscow Times transitioned to the Netherlands in response to media crackdowns; notable staff faced legal challenges, as in Evan Gershkovich's spying trial.
