Russians Read Names of Soviet Political Victims in Moscow

Every year on Oct. 29, hundreds of Muscovites line up in front of the ex-headquarters of the Soviet secret police to read the names of the victims of Stalin’s Great Purges.

Despite the rain and the cold, the event brings together hundreds of people—young and old.

… 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.
