Testimonials


"I am a long time fan of the Moscow Times. Due to my profession, I read a large number of newspapers, among which the Moscow Times stands out in several respects. First of all, it furnishes different viewpoints, allowing the reader to draw conclusions based on comparison. Second, it presents objective news and does not confuse news with editorials or opinion pieces. Third, it adheres to the highest journalistic principles. Fourth, it does not publish misleading headlines, nor does it deal in rumors. Finally, it is well written and should be complimented on it's standards of English. I congratulate the Moscow Times on its 15th anniversary, during which time it has remained truly independent - keep up the good work!"
-Vladimir Pozner, Journalist and author

Fedotov said that the U.S. policy shift was ""a result of the work we have been doing and pressure from the international community.
