Good evening,

This is the daily newsletter of "Medusa" about important news of the day. And today, unfortunately, we cannot start with good news. The Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federationdeclared “undesirable” in Russia the activities of the American company Project Media, Inc, the publisher of “Project” (an independent publication that issues an investigation on senior Russians), and the Ministry of Justice included his journalists in the register of “foreign agents”. The “undesirable” organization is prohibited from conducting any activity in the country, and for cooperation with it the Russians faces criminal liability. Instead of the appeal of our editorial office, we publish this list.
