Support The Moscow Times!

Today in History, Aug. 23

A non-aggression treaty known as the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, was signed between Germany and the Soviet Union, 74 years ago today on Aug. 23, 1939. A secret protocol that divided Eastern Europe into Nazi and Soviet spheres of influence was included in the pact, although the treaty was declared void upon Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941.

… we have a small favor to ask.

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.
