Russia&#8217;s Prosecutor General&#8217;s Office has designated The Moscow Times as an &#8220;undesirable&#8221; organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a &#8220;foreign agent.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work &#8220;discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership.&#8221; We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.<\/p>\n<p>We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced.
