That's ironic because Meduza is apparently based in Latvia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meduza:
> Meduza (Russian: Медуза, lit. 'jellyfish')[2][3] is a Russian- and English-language independent[7] news website, based in Latvia.

Yes, sure, in a democratic country it's absolutely impossible that a person reporting things that disagree with the official govt line may spend even a single day in prison.
Julian Assange can confirm.
If he made an effort to truly remain separate from the sourcing of information, as most reputable reporting agencies do, then he’d likely not be in prison.
Look at the release of the Pentagon Papers.
I recently read the book "American Muckraker" by James O'Keefe. It has quite a few examples of that in modern US.
Based on unconfirmed rumors, similar things do happen here in Montenegro as well.
Sure. As well as Snowden and Manning. And anybody else who disagrees with the official govt line. They all are Russian actors. That's how democracy works.
It's relocated to Latvia and founded by a former main editor of lenta.ru (a pretty big news agency) after it was raided by government.
I want to see what the Russian propaganda is saying to their people. I haven't been able to find a site.
A covert foreign agent, also known as a secret agent of a foreign government, may in some countries be presumed to be engaging in espionage. Some countries have formal procedures to legalize the activities of foreign agents acting overtly. An example is the 1938 United States law, the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), the governing statute of which contains a wide-ranging and detailed definition of "foreign agent."[1]
Looks like those stupid Russian barbarians are just silly copycats. They have simply stolen everything from their intelligent democratic predecessors.

Also perhaps https://meduza.io/en and https://meduza.global.ssl.fastly.net/en for text—though that has much less material than in Russian, and I can't personally vouch for it.
As a gentle reminder: after being declared a ‘foreign agent’ and losing risk-averse advertisers, Meduza lives on direct contributions from readers. Given both the devaluation of the ruble and the financial sanctions (as Meduza is not incorporated in Russia), these contributions will likely shrink, and we might lose one of the last outlets with actual good journalism.
