Giselle and Dalibor are joined by Galina Timchenko, CEO of Meduza, an independent Russian and English language media outlet censored by the Russian government. Timchenko shares Meduza's mission, which is centered around circumventing the Kremlin's information warfare by presenting factual information to millions of readers both within Russia and around the world. She also offers insights into Russian public opinion of the war and Vladimir Putin, the success of the Russian anti-war movement, Western rumors about Russia, and divisions within the Kremlin. Finally, Timchenko describes life for Russians who are against the war and are unable to leave Russia, and the work Meduza is doing to connect them to an international community beyond Russia's borders.Show notes: Meduza (English)

A Look Inside Meduza (with Galina Timchenko)

Is President Putin crushing press freedom in Russia? Since coming to power nearly 20 years ago, Vladimir Putin  has been accused of gradually taking control of the media in Russia, and silencing those who would criticise him.  Galina Timchenko was editor of Lentu.Ru until she was fired – she claims as a result of pressure from the Kremlin. She left Russia and with some of her former colleagues set up another news organisation - Meduza – in exile, in Latvia. It  reaches millions of Russians. But what does her self-imposed exile say about media freedom in Russia? And should she have stayed to defend her journalism there?
