Novaya Gazeta said Wednesday that it has agreed to join forces with Wiki-Leaks to expose corruption in Russia.
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has materials specifically about Russia that have not been published yet, and Novaya Gazeta will help make them public, the newspaper said.
Novaya Gazeta received unlimited access to the WikiLeaks database, which has a “wide range” of materials, including documents about Anna Politkovskaya’s murder in 2006 as well as information about Russian politicians’ ties to organized crime, newspaper spokeswoman Nadezhda Prusenkova said by phone. The newspaper will start releasing materials next month.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
