Five texts about how Russian media changed in 2022
With the beginning of a full -scale invasion of Ukraine, the Russian authorities, and previously tightly limited the work of the media, conducted unprecedented repressions against independent publications. Roskomnadzor blocked thousands of federal and regional resources, including “paper” , journalists were pronounced “foreign agents”, and for the publication of information about the war that did not correspond to the position of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the authors threatened up to 15 years.
Part of the publications in these conditions closed, others began to observe censorship. Many journalists and publications did not comply with the requirements of the authorities, but were forced to leave Russia to continue work. Even in the context of this pressure of the state, independent Russian journalists developed old projects and created dozens of new ones.
“Paper” recalls five texts (and one special project) about how the Russian media changed in 2022 and what journalists and their readers experienced.

After the start of the war in Ukraine and mobilization, hundreds of thousands of citizens left Russia. Many, including journalists, ended up in Tbilisi, Yerevan, Riga, Vilnius and other cities. Thanks to them, new projects have appeared that release news and talk about history and cultural life in emigrant hubs. "Paper" has compiled a list of eight media, which are written for Russians abroad.
Bonus: Special Project "Who answered for words"
What did military censorship do with regional media? “Paper” along with “TV2” and “editor-22” for several months studied the stories of publications from different cities of Russia and the experience of their struggle. In this project, journalists from different regions not only comprehend what happened and what is happening now, but also try to understand what Russian journalism has.
