(1/5)I sincerely congratulate Dmitry Muratov and @novaya_gazeta on receiving the Nobel Peace Prize. This is a well-deserved reward that was handed out on a very symbolic date.
(2/5)The day before the announcement was the 15th anniversary of the murder of journalist Anna Politkovskaya (who, unfortunately, isn't the only murdered journalist of Novaya Gazeta), and this reminds us of what a high price those who refuse to serve the authorities have to pay.
(3/5)I also congratulate Filipino journalist Maria Ressa @mariaress, who shared the award with Dmitry. Russia and the Philippines are very different countries, but their authorities are quite similar, especially in their endless lies and hatred of those who expose these lies.
(4/5)The world is changing, and none of us know exactly how the information society will evolve and how the media will change.
(5/5)I am glad that by its decision (at least it seemed so), the Nobel Committee stressed that no matter how the likes, algorithms, private and public money or subscribers influence us, the main thing that we need now and always is journalism that is not afraid to tell the truth
