3
00:00:18,039 --> 00:00:24,760
I took train number ten, which was
going on the Moscow to Samara route.

4
00:00:25,359 --> 00:00:29,120
I was going to meet my mother,
whose birthday I'd missed,

5
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:33,759
and three minutes before
the train's departure

6
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,920
a man burst through the open door,
shouted my name.

7
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,600
I answered 'Yes'.

8
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:50,960
After that, he started pouring
terrible stinking red liquid on me.

9
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,280
He ran out of the compartment.

10
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,119
I somehow wiped the paint

11
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:05,480
from my eyes, grabbed my phone,
and ran after him.

12
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:10,879
You bastard!

13
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,359
He was already standing
next to a policeman.

14
00:01:15,159 --> 00:01:16,719
He came into my compartment.

15
00:01:16,799 --> 00:01:18,920
He shouted 'Muratov'.

16
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,159
He covered me in paint,
shouting 'For our boys'.

17
00:01:22,439 --> 00:01:24,200
I don't know what this means.

18
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:28,400
Take your mask off!

19
00:01:30,879 --> 00:01:33,319
I understand the message
they were sending.

20
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:36,159
"Shut up"

21
00:01:38,439 --> 00:01:40,480
"And keep your newspaper quiet".

22
00:01:47,519 --> 00:01:49,319
THE PRICE OF TRUTH

23
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,800
The Nobel Peace Prize for 2021

24
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:25,759
has been awarded to two outstanding
representatives of the press,

25
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,080
Maria Ressa working
in the Philippines

26
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:36,520
and Dmitry Muratov working
in the Russian Federation.

27
00:02:56,879 --> 00:02:58,919
Does everybody have their
headphones?

28
00:03:01,599 --> 00:03:03,919
On the morning of October 8th,

29
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,080
I received a phone call
from my mother.

30
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,039
She wondered how things were going.

31
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,479
Well, Mum, we've got the Nobel Prize...

32
00:03:14,479 --> 00:03:16,639
'That's nice. Anything else?'

33
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,560
Look here, Mum I'll tell you everything.

34
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,400
The world has fallen out of love
with democracy.

35
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,080
The world has begun to turn
towards dictatorship.

36
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:39,199
In my country, and not only there,
it is popular to think

37
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:45,199
that politicians who avoid
bloodshed are weak,

38
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:50,759
while threatening the world with war
is the duty of true patriots.

39
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,560
We are journalists,
and our mission is clear:

40
00:04:10,639 --> 00:04:12,319
to distinguish between fact
and fiction.

41
00:04:13,719 --> 00:04:17,360
But journalism in Russia
is going through dark times.

42
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,560
Over the last few months

43
00:04:19,639 --> 00:04:24,000
over one hundred journalists, media
outlets, and human rights defenders

44
00:04:24,079 --> 00:04:27,240
have been branded
as "Foreign Agents".

45
00:04:28,439 --> 00:04:31,560
In Russia, this means
"enemies of the people."

46
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:37,959
Democracy needs rehabilitation.

47
00:04:39,079 --> 00:04:40,720
Let us put it bluntly.

48
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,879
If we give up on democracy,
we agree to war.

49
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,480
The dawn chorus that no one
wants to hear.

50
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,560
Air raid sirens in Kyiv

51
00:04:57,639 --> 00:05:01,160
signalling that the full-scale invasion
of a European country

52
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,600
in the year 2022 was well under way.

53
00:05:06,079 --> 00:05:10,600
I have decided to conduct
a special military operation.

54
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:19,879
To this end, we will strive
to demilitarise and denazify Ukraine,

55
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:24,279
as well as to bring to justice those
who have committed bloody crimes

56
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:30,120
against civilians, including those
of the Russian Federation.

57
00:05:40,519 --> 00:05:45,720
It's a catastrophe.
It makes me feel emotional.

58
00:05:46,879 --> 00:05:51,439
This is a historic tragedy created
by Vladimir Putin.

59
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,759
Whoever tries to prevent us,

60
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,800
or threatens our country
and its people,

61
00:05:59,879 --> 00:06:04,279
should know that Russia's response
will be immediate

62
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,959
and it will lead to consequences
the like of which

63
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,759
you have never experienced
in your history.

64
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:28,920
Where can I run to?

65
00:06:30,879 --> 00:06:36,480
I think that Russia may destroy
Ukraine, but it will not conquer it.

66
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:57,639
- Ok... Dima!
- Hi! I'm here!

67
00:06:58,439 --> 00:07:00,360
- Where are you?
- We don't see you?

68
00:07:00,439 --> 00:07:03,439
It's not every year a friend wins
the Nobel peace prize.

69
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,560
I've known Dima for twenty years.

70
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,160
We met when I was making
a documentary

71
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,439
in the chaos of the early 2000s.

72
00:07:11,759 --> 00:07:14,319
In turbulent Russia,
he's always stayed the same.

73
00:07:15,199 --> 00:07:18,160
Open hearted, principled and brave.

74
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:24,319
Patrick, the whole world
is against the war.

75
00:07:24,399 --> 00:07:28,279
Twenty five million people in Russia
are against the war

76
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,399
that's an official estimate.

77
00:07:31,839 --> 00:07:35,759
It's very important that people who
oppose the war have their own voice.

78
00:07:36,519 --> 00:07:38,240
For us, that's the most
important thing.

79
00:07:41,319 --> 00:07:45,560
Readers are our country.

80
00:08:02,879 --> 00:08:05,759
Dima founded his paper in 1993,

81
00:08:06,279 --> 00:08:11,759
it's been responsible for scoop after
scoop: the horror of the Chechen war,

82
00:08:12,079 --> 00:08:16,959
the billions stolen by the ruling
elite, the brutality of Modern Russia.

83
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,120
Somehow Dima has managed to keep it
alive,

84
00:08:23,639 --> 00:08:26,959
to walk the tightrope
of unrelenting Kremlin pressure.

85
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,519
He agrees that we can film him
and his paper.

86
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,240
Just one condition,
don't put their lives at risk .

87
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,039
We don't know anything.

88
00:08:38,519 --> 00:08:41,960
You don't know anything.
Nobody knows anything.

89
00:08:42,039 --> 00:08:44,480
Because it all happens
in one person's head.

90
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,960
And we don't even know
if he's flexing his finger

91
00:08:47,039 --> 00:08:49,240
ready to press the nuclear button
or not.

92
00:08:50,039 --> 00:08:53,720
And everyone around is walking around
whispering, 'It's 50/50'

93
00:08:55,759 --> 00:09:01,720
'50% he will, 50% he won't.'

94
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:09,399
Novaya owes its existence to another
Nobel Laureate, Mikhail Gorbachev.

95
00:09:12,879 --> 00:09:17,919
Even the first computers to arrive
in Novaya Gazeta's offices in 1993

96
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:23,039
were bought by Gorbachev
with his Nobel Prize money.

97
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:28,159
I met him when he was President of
the Soviet Union and I interviewed him.

98
00:09:28,799 --> 00:09:32,759
I came to the Kremlin and my
ID was checked five times before

99
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,200
I went to his office.

100
00:09:36,519 --> 00:09:37,879
I got mad.

101
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,679
And when I went
into Gorbachev's office,

102
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,480
I demanded that he show me
his ID too.

103
00:09:50,879 --> 00:09:52,759
That is a great picture!

104
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,720
At first, he started laughing,

105
00:09:54,799 --> 00:09:57,879
then he climbed into the safe
and took out his ID.

106
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,919
In fact, I read it,
it said 'President'.

107
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,879
Job Title: President.

108
00:10:05,519 --> 00:10:08,120
We haven't been separated
for 33 years since then.

109
00:10:09,639 --> 00:10:11,039
Fantastic!

110
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,200
All my life I've been friends
with Mikhail Gorbachev,

111
00:10:18,519 --> 00:10:20,919
who had the same principle.

112
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:28,039
We must open Russia up to the world,
and open the world up to Russia.

113
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,519
And this principle has been blown up.

114
00:10:33,399 --> 00:10:35,279
Twenty of them flew past.

115
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,639
This was Antonov International
airport,

116
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:39,799
fifteen miles from the centre.

117
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,519
And these were Russian helicopter
gunships.

118
00:10:44,759 --> 00:10:47,440
This airfield is now being used
to bring in the troops

119
00:10:47,519 --> 00:10:49,120
that will storm the capital.

120
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:58,039
As Russia's tanks pour into Ukraine,
the government clamps down at home,

121
00:10:59,519 --> 00:11:02,919
bringing in new laws limiting
what anyone,

122
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,200
particularly tricky journalists can
say about the special operation.

123
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:11,440
If you write the word 'war',
you'll be shut down.

124
00:11:11,519 --> 00:11:14,440
If you tell us how the fighting
is going on in Ukraine,

125
00:11:14,519 --> 00:11:16,320
you have no right to do so,

126
00:11:16,399 --> 00:11:18,399
because you must only cite
the point of view

127
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,080
of the official military authorities.

128
00:11:20,159 --> 00:11:22,679
This is absolutely
ferocious censorship.

129
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,000
No, no, no, I'm not allowed to have
anyone buy tickets for me.

130
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:42,399
- Well, you're going to talk.
- But no, you can't. It's the law.

131
00:11:43,279 --> 00:11:46,480
But we always buy tickets
and pay for the hotels.

132
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,600
So don't be offended, please.

133
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,759
I can't do this,

134
00:11:52,159 --> 00:11:56,000
otherwise I will be recognised
as a Foreign Agent in Russia.

135
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,000
I'm not ready to be a Western agent.

136
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:03,480
I want to remain a Russian
journalist.

137
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:22,240
I get a message, Dima is in Latvia on
the jury of a documentary festival.

138
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,360
We can talk freely there.

139
00:12:25,639 --> 00:12:30,399
Somehow, I don't think it's just about
the art of documentary film making.

140
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:46,799
Putin thinks he needs to win
World War II again.

141
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:54,519
- And, how does it end?
- Sad. There's no happy ending.

142
00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:02,159
- Yeah, and you keep fighting?
- I'm not fighting. I'm working.

143
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:07,120
Just work. And my main task

144
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:12,440
is to keep my employees safe.

145
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:25,519
You take it!

146
00:13:33,519 --> 00:13:37,320
I have to send the whole
of my editorial team,

147
00:13:37,399 --> 00:13:44,240
which was collected like diamonds,
to emigrate, to leave.

148
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:50,399
I am negotiating this
at the moment, right here.

149
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,360
The day before yesterday I met
with the President.

150
00:13:53,799 --> 00:13:56,200
Today the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

151
00:13:56,279 --> 00:14:01,480
The current estimate is between
twenty and forty people.

152
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,320
I can't let anyone in on the details.

153
00:14:07,879 --> 00:14:09,879
These are secret negotiations,
understand?

154
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,600
Give me your word, because
I don't trust Yelena,

155
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,759
I love her but I don't trust her.

156
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,200
Yelena, your promises are well known.

157
00:14:19,919 --> 00:14:22,879
You forget and then you say,
'I misunderstood'.

158
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,840
He's right to be careful.
Since he founded the paper,

159
00:14:29,919 --> 00:14:32,320
six Novaya journalists
have been killed

160
00:14:32,399 --> 00:14:34,879
after their reports offended
the Kremlin.

161
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,639
My personal pain,
and my fault is

162
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:42,720
we lost so many people,
murdered, from the paper.

163
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,240
Igor Domnikov was the first.

164
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:58,399
He was a brilliant guy.

165
00:14:59,559 --> 00:15:03,519
He was killed by bandits for his
series of investigations.

166
00:15:05,279 --> 00:15:07,360
Yuri Shchekochikhin,
my closest friend

167
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,399
and an outstanding journalist.

168
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:11,799
He was poisoned.

169
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:19,120
Anna Politkovskaya, she made it to
Chechnya, disobeying all orders.

170
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,159
And I was on vacation at the time.

171
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,919
Of course, I blame myself
terribly for this.

172
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,960
I should also mention Nastya Baburova
and Stas Markelov.

173
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:37,360
Natasha Estemirova, who was Anya
Politkovskaya's main collaborator

174
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:38,919
on Chechnya.

175
00:15:40,799 --> 00:15:46,120
Their portraits hang on the walls
right above the table where we meet

176
00:15:46,559 --> 00:15:49,840
and I see them a lot of times a day.

177
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,919
I'm ashamed of myself,
but not the newspaper.

178
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:12,120
We are already handing out weapons
and will give them to anyone

179
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:18,200
who has the capacity to defend
our sovereignty.

180
00:16:27,919 --> 00:16:29,799
Thank you, Dmitry Muratov

181
00:16:29,879 --> 00:16:33,679
and the thousands and thousands
of other worthy Russians

182
00:16:33,759 --> 00:16:36,519
whose conscience stands firm.

183
00:16:37,759 --> 00:16:43,320
Just stop those who lie,
lie to all of us.

184
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,639
Like everyone around him in Riga,

185
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:54,360
I spent three days trying to convince
him not to go back to Moscow,

186
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,960
that it isn't safe, particularly
after Zelenskyy's endorsement.

187
00:16:59,799 --> 00:17:01,480
Today, he's off.

188
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:08,200
My flight lands in Moscow at 4.50am.

189
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:10,400
My colleagues will meet me
at the airport,

190
00:17:12,079 --> 00:17:13,519
we will have a drink,

191
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,920
I'll have a nap and be at work
at 12:00pm.

192
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,440
Just as he climbs into his minibus
another one pulls up.

193
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,160
Overnight a party of journalists
has escaped from Russia.

194
00:17:30,599 --> 00:17:32,119
So how long have you known him?

195
00:17:32,559 --> 00:17:35,000
Fifteen years, no,
yeah fifteen years.

196
00:17:35,079 --> 00:17:39,079
I came to Novaya Gazeta in 2006
when I was nineteen years old.

197
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:41,559
He's like my second father.

198
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,279
People think that his job
is to be the Chief Editor

199
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:45,680
but his job is to save people

200
00:17:45,759 --> 00:17:47,200
and he has always been like that

201
00:17:47,279 --> 00:17:49,480
and in general this feeling
that we are going to the west

202
00:17:49,559 --> 00:17:51,680
and he's going to the east
is always kind of,

203
00:17:51,759 --> 00:17:55,440
is another symbolic
sign of separation.

204
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:00,519
Where are you going?

205
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,200
To a safer place than Moscow,

206
00:18:03,559 --> 00:18:05,839
I don't disclose the location for security
reasons, you know,

207
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,319
I would prefer not to disclose locations
to Russia's secret services.

208
00:18:16,279 --> 00:18:19,240
I'm afraid something might happen
to him.

209
00:18:21,079 --> 00:18:24,599
I wouldn't go, but that is why,
you know, he's ...

210
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,200
Why wouldn't you go?

211
00:18:26,279 --> 00:18:29,720
Because I know that they most likely
will arrest me, I know that,

212
00:18:29,799 --> 00:18:32,359
nobody survives Russian prison

213
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,240
or at least you know there
is a very small chance

214
00:18:34,319 --> 00:18:36,000
that you can survive Russian prison.

215
00:18:36,599 --> 00:18:40,519
He knows all of that, and despite
that, he goes back.

216
00:18:49,799 --> 00:18:52,920
Muratov? Look, if he doesn't
break Russian law

217
00:18:53,519 --> 00:18:58,079
and if he doesn't give a reason
to be declared a Foreign Agent,

218
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,200
then he won't be declared one.

219
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,000
Everyone needs to clearly understand,

220
00:19:04,079 --> 00:19:06,480
it is necessary to comply
with Russian Law.

221
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:30,559
I'm all too aware that my friend's
desire to challenge authority

222
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,559
conflicts with centuries
of state power in Russia.

223
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,720
Whether it's the Tsar,
the Politburo or the President.

224
00:19:37,799 --> 00:19:41,519
That Russia has always been ruled
by one central authority,

225
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,920
that Putin is not the aberration
but the brutal norm.

226
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:57,319
- Why did you become a journalist?
- That's an old story.

227
00:19:58,279 --> 00:20:03,160
One day my friend and I went
to get autographs

228
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,960
from some great hockey players
who came to our closed city.

229
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,119
This is the city of Kuibyshev

230
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,559
and these great hockey players, who
came to Kuibyshev every three years

231
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,400
when we asked for their autographs,
they told us to fuck off

232
00:20:17,039 --> 00:20:20,279
and we were terribly insulted
and hurt.

233
00:20:20,799 --> 00:20:23,480
I didn't know that our mothers
wrote to the newspaper

234
00:20:23,559 --> 00:20:27,359
and they sent an envelope
with two photographs.

235
00:20:27,759 --> 00:20:32,400
One 'To Dima' from CSKA
goalkeeper Vladislav Tretiak.

236
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,200
And one 'To Zhenya' from CSKA
goalkeeper Vladislav Tretiak.

237
00:20:36,839 --> 00:20:38,559
This absolutely amazed me

238
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,119
and I realised that I wanted to work
for a newspaper.

239
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,200
Anyway, it all started
when they told me to fuck off.

240
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,519
Dima started as a paratrooper fighting
in Afghanistan.

241
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,240
Demobbed he immediately
joined Komsomolskaya Pravda

242
00:20:53,319 --> 00:20:55,000
as a war reporter.

243
00:20:55,079 --> 00:20:58,720
Fed up with state interference there,
he and a bunch of colleagues left

244
00:20:58,799 --> 00:21:03,200
and founded Novaya Gazeta.
Within two years he was editor.

245
00:21:18,759 --> 00:21:20,720
Let's talk about cutting through,

246
00:21:20,799 --> 00:21:23,559
interrupting the Channel 1
flagship news last night

247
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:25,160
with a homemade placard.

248
00:21:25,559 --> 00:21:28,640
The studio director immediately
cut away to something else.

249
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,880
A very vague law passed 11 days ago

250
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,920
and now you face up to 15 years in
prison in Russia

251
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,240
for calling the war, the war.

252
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,160
I still have a question about
'Foreign Agents'.

253
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:01,519
This law has no judgement.
There is no court there.

254
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,200
You are declared a 'Foreign Agent',

255
00:22:06,279 --> 00:22:10,000
there is no evidence,
there is no sentence.

256
00:22:10,079 --> 00:22:12,160
You are just branded a criminal.

257
00:22:12,799 --> 00:22:15,920
Let me remind you
of our favourite childhood book.

258
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,400
This is exactly what happened to
Milady in The Three Musketeers.

259
00:22:20,039 --> 00:22:23,480
But when Milady was beheaded,
by the hangman at dawn,

260
00:22:23,559 --> 00:22:25,640
she was at least finally read
the sentence.

261
00:22:26,519 --> 00:22:28,200
First of all,

262
00:22:28,279 --> 00:22:32,319
I would like to congratulate you
on being awarded the Nobel Prize.

263
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,359
So, your concern about
foreign agents.

264
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,200
I'm not going to beat around
the bush.

265
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:44,599
You said there was no verdict.
You're right, there really isn't one.

266
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,039
Milady was sentenced
and her head was cut off,

267
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:48,920
but no one is cutting anything off here.

268
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,960
I'm shocked at what happened,
at what I'm seeing.

269
00:22:58,519 --> 00:23:04,960
I saw Putin a year and one week
before the invasion of Ukraine.

270
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:11,039
He said that it was not in Russia's
interests to annex any territories.

271
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:16,759
He was completely cool and calm.
Something happened this year

272
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:22,279
that changed Putin's whole line
of thought.

273
00:23:23,079 --> 00:23:25,440
Everything that is happening
is a desperate measure.

274
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,920
They've left us no other option.

275
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:34,519
I don't know what happened to him.

276
00:23:34,599 --> 00:23:40,519
For some reason, I think
he could have been influenced

277
00:23:40,599 --> 00:23:47,359
by the absolute loneliness of Covid,
when he was alone with himself.

278
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:51,319
And no good came of this meeting
between Putin and Putin.

279
00:23:55,799 --> 00:23:57,640
It's raining bombs.

280
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,519
God knows how many died.

281
00:24:04,519 --> 00:24:07,599
But we can't go and help.

282
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,839
Dima's confides his plan is to stay
one step ahead of the authorities

283
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,039
in a risky game of cat and mouse.

284
00:25:09,319 --> 00:25:16,240
Patrick. We received two censorship
warnings in one week.

285
00:25:17,839 --> 00:25:22,599
That means there
will be no further warning.

286
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:26,079
We will be stripped of our right
to publish the newspaper.

287
00:25:27,599 --> 00:25:31,119
Right, so look this is the first time
you've suspended the paper,

288
00:25:31,599 --> 00:25:36,920
this is your paper that you started,
so how did that feel personally?

289
00:25:37,559 --> 00:25:40,920
Well, the other option is this.

290
00:25:41,319 --> 00:25:46,160
We are accused of extremism and our
employees are put in prison.

291
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:54,799
And how dangerous is the situation
for you all at the moment?

292
00:25:55,880 --> 00:26:00,240
I don't think about the danger.

293
00:26:00,799 --> 00:26:03,759
For us, for the newspaper,
for our journalists,

294
00:26:03,839 --> 00:26:07,960
I think the biggest danger is war.

295
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:12,440
We must stop the war
and then talk about ourselves,

296
00:26:13,039 --> 00:26:15,920
about our companies,
about our newspapers.

297
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:22,440
Patrick, we'll be back.
I promise you we'll be back.

298
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,839
Novaya Gazeta forever!

299
00:26:27,839 --> 00:26:30,559
I'm going to say one more thing.
No one knows this yet.

300
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:35,160
Patrick, my medal has a new destiny.

301
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:37,400
Today we reached an agreement

302
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:42,559
with one of the largest auction
houses in the world.

303
00:26:44,279 --> 00:26:49,240
That we're going to sell the Nobel
medal at auction in New York.

304
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,240
And together with UNICEF.

305
00:26:52,559 --> 00:26:54,759
Fantastic! Good.

306
00:26:54,839 --> 00:27:00,160
The money from the sale of this medal
will be used to help refugees,

307
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,640
Ukrainian refugees and their children.

308
00:27:03,279 --> 00:27:04,559
When?

309
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,680
Do you know when
the auction will take place?

310
00:27:06,759 --> 00:27:08,640
I know, but I won't tell you.
No discussion!

311
00:27:09,759 --> 00:27:13,720
Less of that! Ok, good luck!

312
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,000
Two days later, Dima goes public.

313
00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:00,119
I got into my compartment
I took my seat.

314
00:28:00,559 --> 00:28:03,359
I put on pyjamas
and a New York Rangers jersey,

315
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:08,319
when a young man ran
into the compartment

316
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,680
and asked "Are you Muratov?"
I said "Yes".

317
00:28:13,759 --> 00:28:15,079
He says "This is for you."

318
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,839
You bastard!

319
00:28:38,799 --> 00:28:40,200
You can't, you bastard!

320
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:45,680
Excuse me, please arrest this man.

321
00:28:45,759 --> 00:28:48,400
Take your mask off!

322
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,960
He refused to take off his mask.

323
00:28:55,559 --> 00:28:57,640
I filmed him talking
to a police officer

324
00:28:58,279 --> 00:29:02,599
and saw that the policeman
had his passport.

325
00:29:03,039 --> 00:29:04,960
I need your phone,
and I need to figure out

326
00:29:05,039 --> 00:29:11,920
who leaked the seat number
of the compartment I'm in.

327
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:13,599
Goodbye everyone, bye bye.

328
00:29:15,119 --> 00:29:19,440
Let's see what you can do
about it now.

329
00:29:19,519 --> 00:29:20,960
We just called it in.

330
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,400
And I hope he would now be detained

331
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,559
because he had committed a crime.

332
00:29:40,119 --> 00:29:44,680
My editorial team to whom I handed
over any videos and clues,

333
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:49,480
within 24 hours, thanks
to our investigative team,

334
00:29:50,079 --> 00:29:52,279
found the person who did it.

335
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:01,880
He wasn't alone.

336
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:06,079
They belong to a military
veteran group near Moscow.

337
00:30:10,799 --> 00:30:13,559
All of them work under the roof
of the secret services.

338
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,480
This happened a couple of days after
you announced the auction.

339
00:30:19,079 --> 00:30:20,839
So, was it a message?

340
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:27,240
This was within a week
of announcing the auction.

341
00:30:27,319 --> 00:30:30,119
Really, I hadn't thought about it,
you're right!

342
00:30:32,559 --> 00:30:35,319
They know which train I'm on,
where I'm sitting.

343
00:30:36,359 --> 00:30:42,079
They have access to all
the databases.

344
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:49,160
'We represent the interests of the
State'. That's what I was told.

345
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:05,920
Dima calls. Turns out that
the paint wasn't just paint.

346
00:31:06,319 --> 00:31:08,160
It was laced with acetone.

347
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:16,440
Yesterday I was examined
at an ophthalmology clinic.

348
00:31:16,759 --> 00:31:22,960
I have burnt tissue in both eyes.
And burns to the eyelids.

349
00:31:24,359 --> 00:31:27,880
Worse in the left,
less bad in the right.

350
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:32,039
Thank God the cornea isn't damaged.

351
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:47,599
If someone intends to intervene in
what is happening from the outside,

352
00:31:50,119 --> 00:31:54,559
they should know, that they
will create for Russia

353
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,759
an unacceptable strategic threat.

354
00:31:57,839 --> 00:32:02,160
They should also know
that our response

355
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:06,599
to oncoming strikes
will be lightning fast.

356
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:20,400
We received another warning
from Roskomnadzor

357
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,400
and the Prosecutor General's office.

358
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,720
It was the second in a week.

359
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:32,680
And yet another fine, It's the tenth
or twelfth, I don't remember.

360
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:37,359
1st April the twenty ninth birthday
of the newspaper.

361
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:42,319
We all gathered probably
for the last time

362
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:49,079
and it was the birthday of a paper
that doesn't even go to print anymore.

363
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:56,799
I would like to tell you, that our country
will need rehabilitation,

364
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:58,720
preferably during our lifetime.

365
00:32:58,799 --> 00:33:01,960
And it will start with us.
Because the outstanding work

366
00:33:02,039 --> 00:33:07,359
that this newspaper has done
under impossible conditions

367
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:11,039
will go down in history forever.

368
00:33:40,839 --> 00:33:45,480
There are many people,
lots of people who left,

369
00:33:45,559 --> 00:33:49,920
who don't want to stay in Moscow.

370
00:33:51,559 --> 00:33:55,759
There were farewells every day
in the office

371
00:33:55,839 --> 00:33:59,319
between those who stay
and those who leave.

372
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:18,920
It was a tough goodbye.

373
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:23,760
My colleagues were walking down the
corridor with backpacks and bags.

374
00:34:24,199 --> 00:34:28,000
I won't see many of them
for years, probably.

375
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,719
And these are people
we've lived our lives with.

376
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:40,719
They are the most talented people,
who we found one by one.

377
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,519
They are all brilliant,
talented professionals.

378
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:49,639
And so we say goodbye to them.

379
00:34:58,199 --> 00:35:01,079
The first fruits of Dima's secret
negotiations.

380
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:04,079
An anonymous apartment block
in a Riga suburb

381
00:35:04,159 --> 00:35:06,519
is now home to a handful
of his journalists.

382
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:09,679
They are trying to put out
Novaya Europe,

383
00:35:10,159 --> 00:35:12,480
but they can't admit
any link to Moscow

384
00:35:12,559 --> 00:35:14,760
for fear everyone there gets jailed.

385
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,639
We have worked here for let's say
three or four weeks already.

386
00:35:21,519 --> 00:35:26,239
We have to say that we totally
different newspaper

387
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,039
from Novaya Gazeta in Moscow,
you know, totally different.

388
00:35:29,639 --> 00:35:31,159
No connection at all.

389
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:34,559
No, no connection at all.
Absolutely no connection.

390
00:35:34,639 --> 00:35:37,000
Yeah Absolutely not...
another newspaper.

391
00:35:39,559 --> 00:35:43,840
I feel like you have some kind of
duty. The duty is to stop war.

392
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:46,320
Novaya Gazeta brings information,

393
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:50,159
brings information about
the situation with casualties

394
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:52,760
and war losses for Russian society.

395
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:58,440
Our mission probably is to bring
some unpleasant truth for Russians.

396
00:35:58,519 --> 00:36:00,559
For Dima, how is it for him?

397
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:04,960
I feel like it's tragedy for him,

398
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,480
that's a kind of personal loss.

399
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:15,800
Our task is to show that
it was not a complete loss.

400
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,480
Close his eyes, my brother,
over there, the fourth one.

401
00:36:50,559 --> 00:36:52,599
The fourth one?

402
00:36:52,679 --> 00:36:54,760
The fourth one. Or which one is it?

403
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:02,000
Was this orchestrated or was this from
just rogue units of the Russians?

404
00:37:02,079 --> 00:37:05,360
Of course, it was ordered to kill
civilian's, it was order,

405
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,920
and what you see here in Bucha.

406
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:12,599
Actually you see it's not only war
crimes, it's crimes against humanity.

407
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:29,920
The Bucha shock wave goes around
the world but it doesn't reach Russia.

408
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,719
Reports of the atrocities
are dismissed as lies

409
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:38,800
and Putin's ratings go up.

410
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:45,000
Today, at the foot of the country's
largest hydro-electric dam

411
00:37:45,079 --> 00:37:47,960
an action was held in support
of our country's military.

412
00:37:48,039 --> 00:37:49,880
One hundred and fifty students from
the Siberian Federal University

413
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,199
lined up with Russian flags
into the letter Z.

414
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,800
It has already become a modern symbol
characters of the fight against Nazism.

415
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:13,119
Dima decides he has to make
another risky journey

416
00:38:13,199 --> 00:38:14,760
and use the freedom of the west

417
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,920
to denounce the war in a way
he cannot at home.

418
00:38:21,519 --> 00:38:22,840
- Bonjour
- Bonjour

419
00:38:29,119 --> 00:38:32,079
Why is society, or the majority of it

420
00:38:32,639 --> 00:38:36,960
supporting the eternal power
of Vladimir Putin?

421
00:38:40,559 --> 00:38:46,280
These polls, which show
that the overwhelming majority

422
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:49,599
support the special operation
in Ukraine,

423
00:38:49,679 --> 00:38:51,360
are all conducted by phone.

424
00:38:52,079 --> 00:38:58,599
Someone calls and asks, 'Do you
support the President's efforts?'

425
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:06,280
So they know your phone number,
where you live, where you work.

426
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,599
They can check your internet
search history.

427
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:16,519
And people, of course,
can't be honest.

428
00:39:16,599 --> 00:39:17,920
Some of them.

429
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:29,400
There's a huge experiment happening
with 150 million people.

430
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:33,280
Some people can resist propaganda,
some can't.

431
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:40,719
I can't blame my whole country
for supporting the war.

432
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:44,199
It's radiation.
Propaganda is like radiation.

433
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:54,199
Over the last six months to a year,
the largest media companies

434
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,440
that expressed alternative views
to the government

435
00:39:57,519 --> 00:39:58,719
have been closed down.

436
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:03,800
When society doesn't notice that
there is no free media left

437
00:40:04,159 --> 00:40:06,480
this means that propaganda has won.

438
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,719
Just remember all those stories
about Viagra,

439
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:14,960
packs of which are being handed out
to our soldiers.

440
00:40:15,039 --> 00:40:16,400
Yes, being handed out
to our soldiers,

441
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:18,800
for them to rape Ukrainian grannies.

442
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:24,880
Gawd, those grannies
would spend their burial savings

443
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:29,320
to get raped by Russian soldiers.

444
00:40:31,199 --> 00:40:36,719
These words are spoken by
Head of the State Russian Channel RTR

445
00:40:37,199 --> 00:40:44,079
and Director of Broadcasting for the
whole of Russia, Anton Krasovsky.

446
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:49,320
Should Ukraine remain on the map
of the world?

447
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:58,440
Everyday,

448
00:40:58,519 --> 00:41:01,599
more and more of Dima's journalists
make the risky journey to Riga.

449
00:41:03,199 --> 00:41:05,679
Half of the paper's staff
have fled Russia.

450
00:41:14,599 --> 00:41:21,280
We need stable WIFI, some space,
some furniture, and nothing else.

451
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:27,199
Look at all the people who are here.

452
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:31,559
Next week there will be more.

453
00:41:31,639 --> 00:41:33,519
Maybe ten or twenty,
let's say twenty.

454
00:41:33,599 --> 00:41:36,559
Ok, this whole zone can be yours.

455
00:41:43,159 --> 00:41:45,920
20 people coming here?
This is going to be an operation.

456
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:52,960
Yeah. One option is to just to keep
silence in Russia and you know,

457
00:41:53,039 --> 00:41:56,320
no one wanted to do this.

458
00:41:57,840 --> 00:41:59,840
Is there a deadline?

459
00:41:59,920 --> 00:42:06,639
Preliminarily, we can say
the 9th May.

460
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:08,079
A very good date!

461
00:42:17,679 --> 00:42:19,639
Dear Russian Citizens!

462
00:42:20,679 --> 00:42:26,079
Dear Veterans, fellow soldiers,
and sailors,

463
00:42:26,519 --> 00:42:30,239
I congratulate you
on The Great Victory Day!

464
00:42:35,599 --> 00:42:41,800
So now you are fighting
for our people in Donbass

465
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:46,440
and for the security
of our Motherland, Russia.

466
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:56,760
Russia called on the West to engage
in an honest dialogue,

467
00:42:56,840 --> 00:43:00,039
search for reasonable
compromise solutions,

468
00:43:00,119 --> 00:43:01,840
and take into account
each other's interests.

469
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:03,880
It's all in vain.

470
00:43:05,639 --> 00:43:12,199
Glory to our valiant armed forces,
for Russia and for victory.

471
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:37,119
So, this is home?

472
00:43:37,199 --> 00:43:40,719
This is home, yeah. This is our
department and you can see...

473
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:42,800
Hey, how are you?

474
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:47,320
Against the odds, Kirill gets
his paper out on May the 9th.

475
00:43:50,199 --> 00:43:54,079
We publish here, it's like
basically like a magazine.

476
00:43:56,039 --> 00:43:58,480
And so, we published it here in Riga

477
00:43:58,559 --> 00:44:03,519
and we sold it in Latvia
and in Estonia.

478
00:44:04,519 --> 00:44:09,960
But we have a lot of problems with
colour because, any colours we did,

479
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:15,880
it just looked like Russian Novaya
Gazeta and it's unsafe for them.

480
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:20,440
So we tried to recreate new versions.

481
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:26,599
If you can imagine it was done
in a week

482
00:44:26,679 --> 00:44:31,440
by a group of people who are
basically sitting on suitcases.

483
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:34,119
You can imagine it's kind
of good work

484
00:44:34,199 --> 00:44:36,039
and basically, I am proud of this.

485
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:41,320
We probably sold, let's say,
5,000 of copies.

486
00:44:56,239 --> 00:45:00,199
Kirill and Dima are facing down an
increasingly triumphant Kremlin.

487
00:45:02,119 --> 00:45:06,639
By the end of May Russian forces
control 20% of Ukraine's territory.

488
00:45:17,119 --> 00:45:21,599
How is it possible
that for the first time in history

489
00:45:23,119 --> 00:45:29,800
the whole of life on Earth depends
on the finger of one man?

490
00:45:39,159 --> 00:45:41,960
Many people will now take offence
at me.

491
00:45:42,039 --> 00:45:44,000
How did many politicians behave?

492
00:45:45,119 --> 00:45:49,679
They came to Moscow, met with human
rights activists,

493
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:51,599
took pictures with them

494
00:45:51,679 --> 00:45:54,400
and then went to sign trade agreements

495
00:45:55,639 --> 00:45:59,119
for oil, gas, titanium.

496
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:03,079
Have you read the EU report?

497
00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:10,440
Ten EU countries have sold
237,000,000 Euros worth of weapons.

498
00:46:11,039 --> 00:46:14,159
Who knows whether these are being
fired on Ukraine or not?

499
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:19,679
Bypassing sanctions,
ten EU countries.

500
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:24,400
You do realise that Putin knows
he is being sold arms, don't you?!

501
00:46:26,079 --> 00:46:30,679
How can Europe say anything to him
about values after that?

502
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:44,199
And this is the first time
you've seen him since Oslo?

503
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:46,840
- Yes yes.
- Not anymore.

504
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:51,199
I know it's been hard to get both
of us together in the same place.

505
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:53,960
- It is.
- We both have challenges to travel.

506
00:46:56,599 --> 00:46:59,440
Just in case I was attacked again,

507
00:46:59,519 --> 00:47:05,039
my editors made sure I had tickets

508
00:47:05,679 --> 00:47:08,440
from different airports
and train stations

509
00:47:08,519 --> 00:47:09,960
to different destinations.

510
00:47:12,639 --> 00:47:17,639
Just like Dima, Maria runs an online
operation independent of the state.

511
00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:21,920
just like Dima,
she faces a hostile government.

512
00:47:22,559 --> 00:47:24,239
So what's your personal situation?

513
00:47:25,119 --> 00:47:27,599
I heard something about a ton of
court cases.

514
00:47:27,679 --> 00:47:29,880
Seven, I have seven left,

515
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:33,639
and I have to get approval
to travel every single time

516
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:37,920
and it's like you know sometimes they
give in and sometimes they don't.

517
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:40,280
Don't you ever get fed-up?

518
00:47:41,039 --> 00:47:44,519
I don't think we can,
there's it's not an option.

519
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:48,480
Seriously it's not an option.

520
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:51,840
I also run a company with 100 people

521
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:53,639
who are doing great stuff, right...

522
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:02,599
My god, look at gorgeous Geneva.

523
00:48:03,119 --> 00:48:07,679
Maria Ressa, she is one of the best
investigative journalists on the planet.

524
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:14,440
Everyone has been concerned
about her situation for a long time.

525
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:21,960
And I know that if you count
all the prison terms

526
00:48:22,039 --> 00:48:24,679
she could be sentenced to,

527
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:27,119
it would be
just over one hundred years.

528
00:48:29,079 --> 00:48:33,639
You did, you put him in that blue suit.
Very nice blue suit for these eyes.

529
00:48:36,559 --> 00:48:41,840
- Take off your glasses.
- It's okay!

530
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:46,280
It's too bright.

531
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:54,280
I believe I have an important idea

532
00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:57,480
which I am discussing
with European politicians.

533
00:48:59,039 --> 00:49:03,639
I want big businesses worldwide
and some states,

534
00:49:04,159 --> 00:49:08,320
to create a fund supporting
exiled journalists.

535
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:15,800
85% of all journalists
who have been murdered,

536
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:20,440
their cases have not been resolved so
we have a problem of protection first

537
00:49:20,519 --> 00:49:23,000
but then on truth and justice.

538
00:49:23,079 --> 00:49:25,559
So that will be really important
for us to know

539
00:49:25,639 --> 00:49:28,360
from your side what you think.

540
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:32,840
Switzerland can do, but also us at
O.T.H.R. What can we do better?

541
00:49:33,679 --> 00:49:35,079
I'll, keep it short,

542
00:49:35,159 --> 00:49:39,440
so Dmitry gets... because his country
invaded another one. Sorry!

543
00:49:46,679 --> 00:49:48,800
How free are we to express
ourselves here?

544
00:49:49,159 --> 00:49:50,639
Is this being broadcasted somewhere,

545
00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:53,719
or are we just talking amongst
ourselves?

546
00:49:58,039 --> 00:50:01,000
It would be great if we could talk
without the cameras turned on.

547
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:20,039
How was Madam Bachelet?
Did she give you anything?

548
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:23,199
She was in a hurry to get
to the Hague.

549
00:50:23,599 --> 00:50:26,119
She kept asking how she could help.

550
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:29,440
We asked her how we could help
the UN.

551
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:31,440
And the answer was?

552
00:50:31,519 --> 00:50:34,960
Yes, she said the UN is a big
organisation, maybe too big.

553
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:37,920
But what did you want from her?

554
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:43,199
We want all of God's kingdom,
heaven, and immortality.

555
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:46,360
Yes.

556
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:47,800
She didn't have it on her!

557
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:54,039
There is moral support and interest.

558
00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:57,199
Sometimes that's important.

559
00:51:01,199 --> 00:51:03,880
It's like coming to the UN
with your own couch

560
00:51:05,119 --> 00:51:07,119
and lying down for a therapy session.

561
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:12,679
Okay.

562
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:26,159
Press safety is not an abstract
issue for my friend and his team.

563
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:43,280
Our journalists have been repeatedly
sent funeral wreaths.

564
00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:56,400
At my CEO's country house,
the gates were daubed with swastikas.

565
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:01,960
To my friend Venediktov, who lives
near the editorial offices,

566
00:52:02,039 --> 00:52:07,000
they threw a pig's head at the door
and drew an anti-Semitic sign.

567
00:52:07,639 --> 00:52:09,960
This happens all the time.

568
00:52:11,519 --> 00:52:14,039
We will continue to work
under these conditions.

569
00:52:19,599 --> 00:52:20,840
After a month away,

570
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:23,840
Dima's in Tallinn on the final leg
of his journey back to Moscow.

571
00:52:25,639 --> 00:52:27,480
He has taken trains, boats, planes,

572
00:52:27,559 --> 00:52:31,559
all to throw the authorities off the scent
to prevent another attack on him.

573
00:52:36,679 --> 00:52:41,639
You know, it's very hard to imagine
your homeland without freedom.

574
00:52:43,079 --> 00:52:46,199
But it's just as hard to imagine
freedom without your homeland.

575
00:52:49,559 --> 00:52:53,559
Right now, it is, for me, very scary
for my colleagues in Russia.

576
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:59,679
I have anxiety about them,
constant anxiety.

577
00:53:00,519 --> 00:53:02,039
We already lost too many.

578
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:09,760
When you see Dima, he's going back
to Russia, what do you feel?

579
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:14,519
Me personally, I prefer he would not.

580
00:53:15,039 --> 00:53:18,159
But I also know him too well

581
00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:24,960
to expect that from him that he stay
here, no, he goes, that's him,

582
00:53:25,039 --> 00:53:29,599
that's actually, he exists in Russia,
he is Russia, for me.

583
00:53:30,639 --> 00:53:32,039
He belongs there.

584
00:53:35,679 --> 00:53:37,039
Are you scared?

585
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:41,440
You know we've made
a deal about that.

586
00:53:41,519 --> 00:53:44,039
'Are you scared'
and 'What about your safety'

587
00:53:44,119 --> 00:53:46,400
questions are not going
to be answered.

588
00:53:48,039 --> 00:53:52,039
I work in Moscow. I can't leave the
editorial team that is still there.

589
00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:56,360
I can't leave those people,
it's impossible.

590
00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:21,519
In Moscow, it's day 1 of Dima's
latest cunning move.

591
00:54:24,239 --> 00:54:27,880
If he can't put out a physical paper,
well how about a magazine?

592
00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:31,519
With all the articles
you can't otherwise publish?

593
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:38,360
We are now making a supplement
to the closed newspaper,

594
00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:45,559
which will be called the first
syllable from Novaya Gazeta: 'NO'.

595
00:54:53,039 --> 00:54:59,440
As promised, in parallel with
the magazine release,

596
00:54:59,519 --> 00:55:04,400
work is underway
on a new internet platform.

597
00:55:07,519 --> 00:55:12,199
His second gambit, a YouTube channel,
which could reach millions.

598
00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:14,639
Running all the interviews
you can't run.

599
00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:22,280
We've stayed at home, stayed here
with our readers who can't leave.

600
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:24,679
Not everyone can leave.

601
00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:28,039
This means that someone has to stay
with those who cannot leave.

602
00:55:28,119 --> 00:55:29,800
We don't think about the risks.

603
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:37,440
And now we will discuss with you
the issue of printing houses.

604
00:55:57,679 --> 00:56:00,480
When Yuri Shchekochikhin
was murdered,

605
00:56:00,559 --> 00:56:03,880
for the first time in my life,
I felt like an orphan.

606
00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:09,320
He was a whole huge world,
he was my closest friend.

607
00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:19,679
He, Major Ismailov and I

608
00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:22,920
exchanged prisoners in the Chechen
war for the first time.

609
00:56:23,599 --> 00:56:30,039
Thanks to Yuri and Ismailov, the paper
exchanged 147 prisoners.

610
00:56:30,440 --> 00:56:31,880
Got them out of there.

611
00:56:36,079 --> 00:56:40,400
And Shcekochikhin was the most
important person in my life.

612
00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:48,119
And throughout Novaya Gazeta's
career,

613
00:56:48,199 --> 00:56:54,480
throughout the history of Novaya
Gazeta, we have often helped people,

614
00:56:54,559 --> 00:56:56,239
rescued prisoners,

615
00:56:56,320 --> 00:57:02,840
saved sick children with spinal muscular
atrophy, helped prisoners.

616
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:04,719
I think this is our core mission.

617
00:57:05,480 --> 00:57:07,480
I'm not an observer,
I'm a participant.

618
00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:18,960
Through all my conservations
with Dima, there's one constant.

619
00:57:20,119 --> 00:57:23,199
I've got to be in New York
on auction day.

620
00:57:29,599 --> 00:57:31,199
I'm feeling nervous.

621
00:57:35,079 --> 00:57:39,079
I don't want this to be just
a symbolic gesture,

622
00:57:40,559 --> 00:57:46,320
I want to raise a seriously
big sum of money

623
00:57:47,639 --> 00:57:51,000
to help Ukrainian refugees.

624
00:57:57,440 --> 00:58:02,639
I was in hospital
for cardiology examinations

625
00:58:04,039 --> 00:58:09,639
and I realised I felt incredibly
powerless about what was happening.

626
00:58:09,719 --> 00:58:12,199
That the war had started
and there was nothing I could do.

627
00:58:13,159 --> 00:58:15,519
And that night I thought

628
00:58:15,599 --> 00:58:19,519
that one thing I could do is not
to be self-pitying.

629
00:58:20,760 --> 00:58:24,960
And that I should give away
the most precious thing I have.

630
00:58:26,719 --> 00:58:32,719
I thought it would be very appropriate
to auction a Nobel medal.

631
00:58:38,159 --> 00:58:39,519
When the war in Ukraine started

632
00:58:39,599 --> 00:58:41,639
there was one day when
it was really hard on me

633
00:58:41,719 --> 00:58:43,920
and I was crying
on the phone with him, sobbing,

634
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:45,920
wailing you know, all of the ins
and outs...

635
00:58:46,559 --> 00:58:51,639
and he went, Fin I know... that you
feel really bad right now.

636
00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:54,880
I think the only way for people
like us to feel better

637
00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:57,079
is to help those who feel even worse.

638
00:58:58,920 --> 00:59:02,320
The choice of Heritage
s absolutely intentional.

639
00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:08,679
Heritage isn't taking a single
percent from the sale of the medal.

640
00:59:19,679 --> 00:59:22,800
It's not my night, I'm just honoured
to be part of it.

641
00:59:25,639 --> 00:59:27,079
Is there anything you need from me?

642
00:59:31,199 --> 00:59:32,480
It's a loaded question.

643
00:59:41,039 --> 00:59:44,960
I am very grateful to UNICEF
who will take this money.

644
00:59:45,039 --> 00:59:48,159
UNICEF will distribute the money,
not me or the newspaper.

645
00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:54,840
- Now it's time!
- Yes let's do this.

646
00:59:58,480 --> 01:00:00,760
I'll be waiting for the third bang
of the gavel.

647
01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:04,400
And after the third one,
one thing we can be sure of,

648
01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:06,840
I will have a drink.

649
01:00:08,679 --> 01:00:14,559
It is my profound honour
to welcome now Dmitry Muratov.

650
01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:28,320
Today is International Refugee Day.
And it's not a holiday.

651
01:00:33,719 --> 01:00:40,440
There are 16 million Ukrainian
refugees... 40% are children.

652
01:00:42,159 --> 01:00:47,119
Two thirds of all children of Ukraine
are forced to leave their homes.

653
01:00:47,679 --> 01:00:51,679
I am asking you all to think for
a second that it is your child.

654
01:00:55,559 --> 01:00:59,199
Dmitry, are you ready to do this?
Are you ready?

655
01:01:01,039 --> 01:01:05,199
875 now to go to 900, 875 now to go
to 900. there's 900 thousand.

656
01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:09,400
Thank you very much. 925, now to go
to 9. Now to go to 950, 950.

657
01:01:09,480 --> 01:01:12,719
There's a million dollars...
we are over a million dollars!

658
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:20,360
OK let's make a bet as to how much it
is going to get.

659
01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:22,239
I say two and a half million.

660
01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:27,440
Two and a half million dollars?

661
01:01:28,239 --> 01:01:31,960
If it goes for more, you owe me
a 12 year old Macallan.

662
01:01:33,679 --> 01:01:36,800
And if it's less, I owe you one.

663
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:44,920
There's two million. Two million
dollars. Two million. Two million.

664
01:01:45,880 --> 01:01:51,280
Theres 2.4, 2.5. Now 2.6. Same bidders
back and forth. Same bidders.

665
01:01:51,360 --> 01:01:52,760
Don't look at her. Don't look at her.

666
01:01:52,840 --> 01:01:57,119
Now we are going to three million
dollars. Three million dollars.

667
01:02:00,599 --> 01:02:03,920
Nick are you on the phone? Let's go.
There's four million dollars.

668
01:02:07,599 --> 01:02:09,039
What do you think

669
01:02:09,119 --> 01:02:11,920
the Russian government's reaction
to the auction is going to be?

670
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:16,559
I think there will be...

671
01:02:18,119 --> 01:02:20,159
a wave of hate
from the propagandists.

672
01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:24,920
I don't think it will be pleasant.

673
01:02:25,920 --> 01:02:28,039
I think there are tons of idiots
out there

674
01:02:28,119 --> 01:02:33,320
who will think they need
to get back at me.

675
01:02:36,159 --> 01:02:42,039
The thing is, those people that covered
me in paint, they are well known.

676
01:02:42,440 --> 01:02:45,320
The editorial team found them
in a day.

677
01:02:45,960 --> 01:02:48,639
They were detained by the police,
but then released.

678
01:02:49,800 --> 01:02:51,960
That means they have protection.

679
01:02:54,159 --> 01:02:56,000
It's complicated because
I am angry at him

680
01:02:56,079 --> 01:02:58,119
because all I want for him is
to be safe.

681
01:02:58,199 --> 01:03:00,599
The more he does, the less safe
he is.

682
01:03:00,679 --> 01:03:07,599
But, I can't describe the kind of
pride I feel. It's overwhelming.

683
01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:12,920
I know he's... I'm scared but
I know he's doing the right thing

684
01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:16,960
and I was raised to believe that
doing the right thing means the most.

685
01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:21,599
I'm at 16.6 million. 16.6.

686
01:03:21,679 --> 01:03:23,840
Take another good look at what
you are getting. Now 16.8.

687
01:03:24,199 --> 01:03:26,119
What do you think?
Want to go to 16.8?

688
01:03:26,519 --> 01:03:29,239
He says he's thinking about it.
16.8. New bidder. Completely new guy.

689
01:03:36,199 --> 01:03:38,840
Can I just hear that one more
time?

690
01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:42,079
Take your mask off so I can hear
you, please.

691
01:03:43,760 --> 01:03:45,360
Stated value bids it

692
01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:48,599
at one hundred and three million
five hundred thousand dollars.

693
01:03:48,920 --> 01:03:50,679
Well, that's one way to do it!

694
01:03:51,880 --> 01:03:53,199
That's a lot of dough.

695
01:04:10,039 --> 01:04:15,159
It was shocking but like ... it's my
dad. He always pulls crazy stunts.

696
01:04:15,719 --> 01:04:21,199
Something always happens.
He calls us like his Angel Keeper

697
01:04:21,280 --> 01:04:24,360
or whatever it is called
in English. Guardian Angel.

698
01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:29,639
He believes in Guardian Angels.
Who knows?

699
01:04:30,119 --> 01:04:32,039
You did a good thing.
Exactly what you wanted.

700
01:04:52,599 --> 01:04:56,639
A jubilant Dima suggests we meet
in Paris on his long journey home.

701
01:05:01,840 --> 01:05:07,159
If they forced you, is there anywhere
other than Russia that you could live?

702
01:05:08,199 --> 01:05:12,400
Well, maybe in Russia as well.

703
01:05:14,840 --> 01:05:18,920
I could, for a while...

704
01:05:20,559 --> 01:05:23,360
live in the city of Bruges.

705
01:05:23,840 --> 01:05:26,119
I fell in love with this small town.

706
01:05:26,719 --> 01:05:28,440
But a week at most.

707
01:05:28,800 --> 01:05:33,800
- Really? You'd be so bored.
- I want a boring life.

708
01:05:33,880 --> 01:05:36,559
I need a week of boring life.

709
01:05:37,239 --> 01:05:40,519
This is my dream, give me a week
of boring life.

710
01:05:41,199 --> 01:05:46,199
Where nothing happens, so I can forget
what day of the week it is.

711
01:05:48,320 --> 01:05:52,519
I'm gonna ask my usual question.
Is it safe to go back?

712
01:05:53,320 --> 01:05:54,800
I don't know.

713
01:05:57,679 --> 01:05:58,840
I don't know.

714
01:06:00,440 --> 01:06:05,960
I don't know, it's not my decision.
I don't know how they will react.

715
01:06:06,039 --> 01:06:09,280
Whether they will declare me an enemy
and a Foreign Agent, or not.

716
01:06:09,800 --> 01:06:11,639
There is nothing
but the unknown ahead.

717
01:06:35,679 --> 01:06:38,480
Do you have any idea who bought
the medal?

718
01:06:42,119 --> 01:06:44,800
This is a consortium,
lawyers explained.

719
01:06:45,239 --> 01:06:47,800
So it's not just one person.

720
01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:51,559
More importantly,

721
01:06:51,639 --> 01:06:57,360
I know that UNICEF,
Heritage and the bank

722
01:06:58,599 --> 01:07:02,239
have been very thorough in checking
the provenance of the money.

723
01:07:06,840 --> 01:07:11,400
I warned your producer, Patrick,

724
01:07:12,440 --> 01:07:14,880
with respect, your documentary
project lost.

725
01:07:17,360 --> 01:07:21,280
And that's why I drink
what you lost to me.

726
01:07:43,039 --> 01:07:45,000
He can't enjoy my whisky for long.

727
01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:49,280
The Kremlin moves for check in the
deadly game they are playing with him.

728
01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:57,920
Everyone knows that an order was
issued on Saturday

729
01:07:59,159 --> 01:08:01,159
to block the website.

730
01:08:02,920 --> 01:08:06,199
I tried to find out
in an unofficial way

731
01:08:06,599 --> 01:08:08,960
why they suddenly attacked
at such speed,

732
01:08:09,039 --> 01:08:10,679
but as Sokolov wrote:

733
01:08:10,760 --> 01:08:14,440
'The baby survived for seven days
and nine hours.'

734
01:08:23,199 --> 01:08:25,000
Let's just bring you
some breaking news.

735
01:08:28,199 --> 01:08:31,680
The former Russian President
Mikhail Gorbachev had died.

736
01:08:31,760 --> 01:08:33,479
He was 91 years old.

737
01:09:05,880 --> 01:09:09,079
Gorbachev put Human Rights
above State Law.

738
01:09:10,239 --> 01:09:14,479
For Gorbachev, world peace was more
important than personal power.

739
01:09:17,239 --> 01:09:20,840
30 years without war, without
the threat of nuclear war.

740
01:09:21,159 --> 01:09:24,279
No-one else has been
able to give the world

741
01:09:24,359 --> 01:09:25,720
such a gift for thirty years.

742
01:09:28,800 --> 01:09:32,479
Patrick, I knew Gorbachev like this.

743
01:09:33,279 --> 01:09:37,439
- Great shot!
- Tough, smart, fast.

744
01:09:38,760 --> 01:09:41,800
I saw Gorbachev happy.

745
01:09:45,039 --> 01:09:48,760
Very happy, they were a sexy couple.

746
01:09:54,359 --> 01:09:55,920
This is saying goodbye to Raisa.

747
01:09:59,119 --> 01:10:01,039
I love this man.

748
01:10:04,039 --> 01:10:06,119
He was not afraid of the opposition.

749
01:10:06,199 --> 01:10:10,159
He was not afraid of competition,
he was not afraid to end war.

750
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:27,920
Good afternoon, dear colleagues!

751
01:10:28,439 --> 01:10:30,560
We have already heard many times

752
01:10:30,640 --> 01:10:32,239
that the West wants to fight us
to the last Ukrainian.

753
01:10:33,760 --> 01:10:36,359
This is a tragedy
for the Ukrainian people.

754
01:10:36,439 --> 01:10:38,920
But it seems that this is how
it's going be.

755
01:10:40,560 --> 01:10:46,399
Everyone should know that
we haven't even got started yet.

756
01:10:49,000 --> 01:10:55,920
Not a single person from the entire
Russian elite dared say a word to Putin.

757
01:10:56,239 --> 01:10:59,520
And these people call themselves
the elite.

758
01:11:01,520 --> 01:11:07,279
This elite has received absolutely
everything from Putin.

759
01:11:09,439 --> 01:11:13,720
The elite is scared of Putin,
more than anything else in the world.

760
01:11:13,800 --> 01:11:15,239
More than God.

761
01:11:21,720 --> 01:11:25,880
Suddenly opposition figure after
opposition figure is detained,

762
01:11:26,199 --> 01:11:28,680
all of them facing huge
jail sentences.

763
01:12:13,399 --> 01:12:16,399
Our employees are being imprisoned.

764
01:12:16,479 --> 01:12:20,560
For example, Andrei Zayakin, who is
responsible for the big data department.

765
01:12:20,640 --> 01:12:22,840
He is a great scientist.

766
01:12:23,279 --> 01:12:27,720
Special forces broke into his apartment.

767
01:12:27,800 --> 01:12:33,239
They stormed his apartment,
because three years ago,

768
01:12:33,319 --> 01:12:39,199
he transferred one thousand roubles,
that's ten pounds,

769
01:12:40,520 --> 01:12:45,279
in support of the politician
Alexei Navalny.

770
01:12:50,600 --> 01:12:53,479
We're living now in a pirate state

771
01:12:54,640 --> 01:12:56,680
where they have guns
and others don't have guns.

772
01:12:57,319 --> 01:12:58,560
Some do whatever they want,

773
01:12:59,359 --> 01:13:02,319
while others are forced to do what
they say, like Navalny.

774
01:13:04,520 --> 01:13:08,720
Of course, I was absolutely
hocked by this photo.

775
01:13:09,399 --> 01:13:14,000
Look at what Alexei Navalny
has been turned into.

776
01:13:15,119 --> 01:13:19,039
Now I'm not a political supporter
of Alexei Navalny,

777
01:13:20,199 --> 01:13:26,880
but JK Rowling in her book,

778
01:13:27,479 --> 01:13:29,720
I think it's "The Prisoner of Azkaban",

779
01:13:29,800 --> 01:13:32,960
there are Dementors who suck the life
and joy out of a person.

780
01:13:34,520 --> 01:13:38,359
He's a critic of the current regime,
and life is being sucked out of him.

781
01:13:49,720 --> 01:13:51,199
In early September,

782
01:13:51,279 --> 01:13:55,880
it's checkmate the government
launches a wave of court cases

783
01:13:55,960 --> 01:14:00,199
that will close all of Novaya's
operations inside Russia, for good.

784
01:14:05,119 --> 01:14:07,600
Guided by Article 175,

785
01:14:07,680 --> 01:14:10,840
the court has decided to invalidate
the registration

786
01:14:10,920 --> 01:14:16,680
of the newspaper Novaya Gazeta,
registration recorded June 4th 2006.

787
01:14:17,359 --> 01:14:23,000
Serial Number RF 77241833.

788
01:14:26,159 --> 01:14:29,199
A decision that has no legal basis.

789
01:14:29,680 --> 01:14:32,640
We are being tried for allegedly
not handing over

790
01:14:32,720 --> 01:14:38,039
any documents twenty years ago,
although everything was handed over.

791
01:14:39,359 --> 01:14:43,960
The verdict had already been decided,
it just hadn't been announced.

792
01:14:44,760 --> 01:14:46,960
This is absolutely obvious
to everyone.

793
01:14:47,600 --> 01:14:49,640
Tomorrow, we have another
court appearance.

794
01:14:49,720 --> 01:14:51,319
Where are we going to court tomorrow?

795
01:14:52,119 --> 01:14:53,680
Same place!

796
01:14:54,840 --> 01:14:57,159
And here, they will pull the verdict
out of the same folder

797
01:14:57,239 --> 01:14:59,720
and ban the magazine 'NO'

798
01:15:02,800 --> 01:15:06,680
September the 6th, Dima's new
magazine to be closed.

799
01:15:10,359 --> 01:15:12,680
September the 15th, it's over.

800
01:15:14,680 --> 01:15:16,039
The Supreme Court rules

801
01:15:16,119 --> 01:15:19,640
that every Novaya website inside
Russia should be shut.

802
01:15:25,039 --> 01:15:28,159
What should I say?
Can I tell you what the verdict was?

803
01:15:28,239 --> 01:15:29,399
Didn't you know?

804
01:15:36,880 --> 01:15:41,439
The representative
of the Ministry of Justice said,

805
01:15:41,760 --> 01:15:45,600
"This is a precautionary measure".

806
01:15:46,000 --> 01:15:50,760
I asked him,"Is it true that murder
is a precautionary measure?"

807
01:15:50,840 --> 01:15:53,000
"Or is this actually a homicide?"

808
01:15:59,880 --> 01:16:03,600
The Russian state is ruthlessly
asserting its supremacy.

809
01:16:04,319 --> 01:16:07,039
Throughout Russian history the state
has had no compunction

810
01:16:07,119 --> 01:16:09,840
about using brute force
to buttress its rule,

811
01:16:10,199 --> 01:16:13,079
whether its repeated Tsarist
massacres of the peasantry,

812
01:16:13,159 --> 01:16:16,760
the show trials of the 30s
or the Gulags of Soviet Rule.

813
01:16:22,880 --> 01:16:25,119
The price of autocracy is all too
evident.

814
01:16:26,199 --> 01:16:28,840
In a terrible echo of Dima's Nobel
speech,

815
01:16:29,279 --> 01:16:33,960
the vortex of war that he foresaw
in Oslo, is coming all too true.

816
01:16:43,560 --> 01:16:48,119
The October 8th explosion
is a terrorist act.

817
01:16:48,720 --> 01:16:53,359
It is simply impossible to leave
a crime of this kind unanswered.

818
01:16:55,119 --> 01:16:58,119
This morning, a massive strike
was launched

819
01:16:58,199 --> 01:17:02,720
with long-range, high-precision air,
sea and land-based weapons

820
01:17:02,800 --> 01:17:09,600
against energy, military and
communications facilities in Ukraine.

821
01:17:19,439 --> 01:17:22,039
With Russia an increasingly dangerous
place for him,

822
01:17:22,399 --> 01:17:25,600
Dima's in Vienna
for one last secret meeting.

823
01:17:29,479 --> 01:17:31,079
So why are you here?

824
01:17:31,640 --> 01:17:34,439
Well, uh, it's a kind of conference

825
01:17:34,520 --> 01:17:40,319
but we use this opportunity to meet,
Nobel Prize winner Dmitry Muratov.

826
01:17:41,680 --> 01:17:45,920
Well, it's a rare opportunity during
this year and during this war.

827
01:17:47,760 --> 01:17:51,039
Publicly, the two men can't be seen
together anywhere,

828
01:17:51,479 --> 01:17:54,000
it risks proving Dima
a Foreign Agent.

829
01:17:56,960 --> 01:17:59,039
Curtains closed, phones off,

830
01:17:59,119 --> 01:18:02,239
this is the only way that Dima
can talk safely to Kirill.

831
01:18:02,840 --> 01:18:05,479
They've got to keep the Riga
operation going, somehow.

832
01:18:10,640 --> 01:18:16,359
You know, it's safe to say the defeat
of independent media

833
01:18:16,439 --> 01:18:18,000
within Russia is complete.

834
01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:25,239
The Judge, when he closed Novaya
Gazeta, his biggest rebuke,

835
01:18:25,319 --> 01:18:28,479
the main accusation
was: 'You sow doubt'.

836
01:18:29,479 --> 01:18:31,600
What the fuck else are we supposed
to do?!

837
01:18:32,960 --> 01:18:35,640
That's our job, to ask questions.

838
01:18:39,319 --> 01:18:45,640
Maybe we're approaching the end
of what we can do in Russia.

839
01:19:01,720 --> 01:19:03,840
This has been the worst year
of my life.

840
01:19:05,960 --> 01:19:08,159
My country is at war.

841
01:19:11,439 --> 01:19:17,680
I would like there to be peace
in Russia and I calmly retire,

842
01:19:17,760 --> 01:19:23,399
go to hockey and read books.

843
01:19:24,760 --> 01:19:27,159
But this is only possible
if Russia is at peace.

844
01:19:42,399 --> 01:19:45,800
A month later a gesture
of defiance to the Kremlin.

845
01:19:48,600 --> 01:19:51,479
At an award ceremony in Europe.

846
01:19:51,560 --> 01:19:54,920
Dima and Kirill are seen together
in public for the first time,

847
01:19:55,640 --> 01:19:57,960
ending the pretence
that Novaya Europe

848
01:19:58,520 --> 01:20:01,159
has nothing to do with Novaya Moscow.

849
01:20:03,399 --> 01:20:08,720
Don't I look good in this suit?
I've lost weight.

850
01:20:21,199 --> 01:20:23,079
Ladies and gentlemen,

851
01:20:23,159 --> 01:20:25,079
I ask you to applaud Dmitry Muratov,
who is with us this evening.

852
01:20:25,640 --> 01:20:27,439
- Welcome, Dmitry.
- Thanks.

853
01:20:36,960 --> 01:20:40,800
This is a new era of confrontation.
between dictatorships,

854
01:20:40,880 --> 01:20:43,199
authoritarian regimes
and independent journalism.

855
01:20:45,319 --> 01:20:47,960
86% of journalists' murders
are unsolved.

856
01:20:48,960 --> 01:20:50,920
Can you tell me another profession
like this?

857
01:20:52,199 --> 01:20:57,079
262 media outlets, independent
of the state.

858
01:20:57,159 --> 01:20:58,880
And the Russian state have been
closed in Russia.

859
01:20:58,960 --> 01:21:01,960
More than 300 journalists
and activists

860
01:21:02,039 --> 01:21:04,520
have been declared Foreign Agents,

861
01:21:04,600 --> 01:21:07,000
that is, in Stalinist terms,
enemies of the people.

862
01:21:08,319 --> 01:21:14,039
First journalists were killed, and
now they're killing the entire media.

863
01:21:15,800 --> 01:21:21,039
Thank you so much.
Thanks Dmitry, Thank you all.

864
01:21:28,159 --> 01:21:31,319
Putin lives in the clouds.

865
01:21:33,039 --> 01:21:35,880
He's thinking about how to change
the past.

866
01:21:37,760 --> 01:21:41,640
He thinks that death is good

867
01:21:41,960 --> 01:21:45,800
if it means dying for the Motherland.

868
01:21:48,720 --> 01:21:52,720
And I think that living
for the Motherland

869
01:21:52,800 --> 01:21:54,880
is the most important thing
for Russia.

870
01:21:54,960 --> 01:21:56,720
We have a conflict between Life
and Death.

871
01:22:02,359 --> 01:22:04,520
And that was the last time I saw him.

872
01:22:05,119 --> 01:22:10,920
He's in Moscow, eyes hurting, paper
closed, most of his journalists in exile.

873
01:22:12,640 --> 01:22:14,239
We've had to stop our filming

874
01:22:14,319 --> 01:22:17,039
it's just too dangerous for him
and his remaining team.

875
01:22:20,439 --> 01:22:26,960
But then I get a message from Moscow.
Dima may be down, but he's not out.

876
01:22:36,279 --> 01:22:40,680
I'd like to drink to those who left
and are saving our honour.

877
01:22:41,600 --> 01:22:44,079
I'd like to drink to those
who stayed behind

878
01:22:44,159 --> 01:22:48,600
who are doing exactly the same thing.

879
01:22:51,159 --> 01:22:55,920
We've got a future.
I can't tell you when it is,

880
01:22:56,000 --> 01:22:59,680
but I promise I will soon.

881
01:23:17,600 --> 01:23:23,000
Journalists named as 'Foreign Agents'
by the Russian Ministry of Justice
