Dear readers! We have decided to suspend the release of "Fringes". “The oldest opposition online media”, “pioneers of the fight against blocking”, “exemplary democracy”, “frenzied Russophobes” - we do not refuse any of these honorary titles. But they cannot be melted down into shells. Don’t cling to the old brand, but rethink your own 23-year history and ask yourself a simple question: how is your project useful for winning?

This text is not just my last column for "faces". In fact, this article I summarize many years of cooperation with Russian democratic media, which began in the late 80s of the last century.

Appeal to citizens of the Russian Federation The Putin regime has plunged Russia into dirt and shame. Having trampled the Constitution, laws and rights of citizens, he unleashed an aggressive, aggressive, vile, criminal war. Neither Ukraine nor NATO attacked or intended to attack Russia. The only reason for the war is the manic obsession of the rulers of Russia with a thirst for the unlimited expansion of their power.
