Russia has dropped again in the latest ranking of the freedom of the pressdown nine points to 164th, which isn’t that surprising now. Marina Ovzyannikova, former employee of the Russian state media, but a staunch critic of the Ukraine campaign since a spectacular anti-war appearance in front of the camera, recently reported on her Telegram channel that 37 journalists have been killed in Russia since Putin came to power. 19 are in prison, 200 media companies have been declared “foreign agents”, seven even “undesirable organizations”, 10,000 pages have been blocked.
