Republic has given up its media license
The Republic publication, on its own initiative, refused the status of a media outlet registered with Roskomnadzor, editorial board. “We have decided that at the present time, the status of a media outlet registered in Russia entails too many meaningless obligations (labels of media outlets as ‘foreign agents’, stricter censorship restrictions, etc.) and does not actually provide any additional rights,” the journalists write. The publication will continue to operate without registration.
