Sainz Seizes Acropolis

ATHENS -- Spaniard Carlos Sainz seized victory in the Acropolis Rally and vaulted into the lead of the World Rally Championship. Sainz's win Tuesday in the fifth round of the 1994 series was his first major success since the 1992 RAC Rally and his first for his new team, Subaru. Toyota continues to lead the manufacturers' championship thanks to Finn Juha Kankkunen's third place, but it is coming under pressure from Subaru and its lead has fallen to 13 points. German Armin Schwarz took second place after a finely judged drive in his Mitsubishi, his best result for a year.

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.
