President Boris Yeltsin earlier condemned the attack and asked the Interior and Security Ministries to punish the attackers, Interfax reported.
"As guarantor of the Constitution", said Vyacheslav Kostikov, the president's press secretary, Yeltsin "will not tolerate any threats in relation to the free Russian press".
During Tuesday's incident, 25 Pamyat members dressed in black paramilitary uniforms detained the newspaper's security guard and barged into the morning editorial meeting.
The group demanded that Moskovsky Komsomolets release names of reporters that had written about Pamyat. Two of the invaders videotaped and photographed the incident.
Pamyat faces charges of violating racial equality, curtailing journalistic activities and creating public disorder.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
