"There are repressions, political repressions, against freedom of
speech, against elections, against the rights of citizens to hold
mass events. To such an extent that we don't know what the real
public mood is.”

The BBC’s Russia editor Steve Rosenberg meets Dmitry Muratov one
of Russia’s most prominent independent journalists.

For more than 30 years, he has been one of Russia’s staunchest
defenders of independent journalism, and one of the Kremlin’s
most outspoken critics. Dmitry Muratov co-founded Novaya Gazeta,
the newspaper known for exposing corruption and human rights
abuses - work that has come at a cost, with several of its
journalists murdered.

In 2021, Muratov was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his
efforts “to safeguard freedom of expression.” Since then,
Russia’s war in Ukraine has brought an even greater crackdown on
dissent and independent media.

In this exclusive interview, he talks about journalism under
Putin, the war in Ukraine and the fight to keep telling the
truth. The Interview brings you conversations with people shaping
our world, from all over the world. The best interviews from the
BBC, including episodes with Russia’s nuclear envoy Mikhail
Ulyanov, UNICEF chief Catherine Russell and music legend Ringo
Starr. You can listen on the BBC World Service on Mondays,
Wednesdays and Fridays at 0800 GMT. Or you can listen to The
Interview as a podcast, out three times a week on BBC Sounds or
wherever you get your podcasts.
