1/Yesterday, 28 years ago, a man named Mikhail Gorbachev was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to bringing the Cold War to a peaceful end.

2/Gorbachev took some of the money he received for his Nobel Peace Prize to buy computers and help set up a newspaper called Novaya Gazeta - one of Russia’s few truly independent media outlets.
3/Novaya Gazeta has focused on uncovering civil rights violations, government corruption and abuse of power.

It has conducted in-depth investigations into the biggest scandals to rock Russia over the past two decades, including the bombing of the Moscow apartment blocks in 1999.
4/And no publication in Russia has had as many of its journalists killed as “Novaya Gazeta,” including its star reporter Anna Politkovskaya.
5/THIS is what we must fight for. A truly free press is the cornerstone of a democratic system of governance.
6/Let Gorbachev's actions of 28 years ago & the horrific, unjust slaying of Jamal Khashoggi we are learning more each passing day about, to motivate us even more in fully exercising the privilege we still have: VOTE.
