Additional information:
The monthly magazine Gorby announced its closure. This happened three weeks after the media project Gorby Media was added to the list of “foreign agents.” Editor-in-chief Andrey Lipsky said that the 23rd issue would be the last. The magazine, founded by employees of Novaya Gazeta, had been in existence for about two years. It was published online and in print with a circulation of 999 copies — it was not possible to print more because the publication was not registered as a media outlet.
