Novaya Gazeta newspaper turns 25! Greetings from Grigory Yavlinsky
“Our life is such that the desire to speak up the truth is always new and brave”
01.04.2018
The newspaper has turned 25 years, but it is like a new one! Our life is such that the desire to speak up the truth is always new and brave. Looking for workarounds being guided by pragmatics means losing. And to pursue one’s way, despite the fact that it seems to be endless, is the only possible option. I am glad that we coincide here.
During these years, we lost friends who died, because they did not want to get along with time. They are always with us. We saw that time and circumstances were against us, but we were holding our views and principles. We very much appreciate those who have been with us all these years and continue to be with us, who believe that truth and good will win.
Congratulations to all those who have been working in Novaya Gazeta during these years, who have been reading it, and to those who regard your newspaper as a friend and interlocutor. You published my articles in your paper, so I consider myself your author.
We will go on being together further.
Yours,
Grigory Yavlinsky
