Ninety-six years ago today, on March 21, 1917, Tsar Nicholas II and his family were placed under house arrest in Tsarskoye Selo. Nicholas, who had abdicated the throne earlier that month, was executed with his family a year later.

As you may have heard, The Moscow Times, an independent news source for over 30 years, has been unjustly branded as a "foreign agent" by the Russian government. This blatant attempt to silence our voice is a direct assault on the integrity of journalism and the values we hold dear.

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. Our commitment to providing accurate and unbiased reporting on Russia remains unshaken. But we need your help to continue our critical mission.
