Russian journalist Tatiana Felgenhauer has been listed among Time magazine’s “Person of the Year," which it dedicated to independent journalists.
Felgenhauer was named among several fellow journalists considered “Guardians in the War on Truth.”
Special mention was given to the murdered journalist Jamal Khashoggi and Maria Ressa, Reuters reporters Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo, and The Capital Gazette staff.
Felgenhauer, 33, was stabbed in the neck in October last year at the headquarters of the liberal radio station Ekho Moskvy, where she is deputy editor and co-hosts a daily morning show.
“I’m slightly shocked,” the journalist wrote on Twitter. “But thank you everyone!”
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.
