Wikileaks founder Julian Assange said in an interview with RT on Monday that he expects attacks for airing a show on the Kremlin-run channel. Assange's interview program The World Tomorrow is scheduled to premiere Tuesday on RT. He said his team had complete editorial control over the show and said that most of what his guests told him "they could not say on a mainstream TV network." He said he had invited members of Russia's political opposition and from the government to appear on the show.

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.
