The head of the Center for Journalism in Extreme Situations, Oleg Panfilov, moved from Moscow to Tbilisi for permanent residence. He explained this by the fact that in Russia he was constantly threatened with physical harm via the Internet.
Panfilov is going to lecture at the Faculty of Journalism at Tbilisi State University, and also work on the Caucasus TV Channel, which should open in the Georgian capital from the new year and broadcast throughout the Caucasus. The widow of Dzhokhar Dudayev, Alla, will work on the same channel.
