Echo Moskvy which operated for 30 years and learned how to succeed as a media company in the realm of Moscow, went out of business on a Friday a couple of weeks ago.

After the international sanctions exploded and then Russian govt voted a 15 year penalty for spreading disinformation and distruths in Russia, the staff of Echo Moskvy held a meeting and a vote which called it quits on the business; they just shut.it.down.

The radio show, the journalists, the conversation, the entire company voted itself out the door. And that was the end of that.

They'll go full samizdat, they already know how ;/

Very sad events and independent media is being slaughtered everywhere.
