On 15 May 2025 we hosted Galina Timchenko, who is the co-founder, CEO, and publisher of Meduza — the largest remaining independent Russian news outlet published in both Russian and English. Meduza reached millions of people inside Russia despite the project's newsroom having to operate from exile for nine years. In April 2021, Russian authorities designated Meduza as a "foreign agent" in an attempt to knock out its advertising income. Since the very beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Meduza strongly opposed the Kremlin's monstrous actions, and the Russian government began blocking Meduza's website outright. In January 2023, the Kremlin banned Meduza completely, declaring the outlet an illegal "undesirable organization". These actions were made to destroy the newsroom, but Meduza managed to retain the majority of its audience due to its diverse and technologically advanced infrastructure.
