    Dmitry Muratov biography

    Speaker Dmitry Muratov is a distinguished Russian journalist and staunch advocate for press freedom, best known as the co-founder and long-serving editor-in-chief of Novaya Gazeta, one of Russia’s most independent newspapers. Born on October 30, 1961, in Kuybyshev (now Samara), Russia, Muratov’s passion for journalism ignited during his studies at Kuybyshev State University. In 1993, following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, he and a group of like-minded journalists established Novaya Gazeta with the mission to provide honest and in-depth reporting on sensitive issues such as governmental corruption, human rights violations, and abuse of power. Under Muratov’s leadership, the newspaper gained national influence and international acclaim for its courageous investigative journalism.

    Throughout his career, speaker Dmitry Muratov has been unwavering in his commitment to journalistic integrity, often facing significant personal risks. His dedication to free speech and transparency has earned him numerous accolades, including the 2007 International Press Freedom Award from the Committee to Protect Journalists. In 2021, he was co-awarded the Nobel Peace Prize alongside Maria Ressa for their efforts to safeguard freedom of expression, which the Nobel Committee recognized as a precondition for democracy and lasting peace. This honor underscored Muratov’s relentless pursuit of truth in an increasingly restrictive media environment.

    Despite mounting pressures and challenges, Muratov continues to champion independent journalism. In March 2022, in response to the escalating crisis in Ukraine, he announced the auctioning of his Nobel Peace Prize medal, with all proceeds directed to support Ukrainian refugees. This act of solidarity exemplifies his enduring commitment to humanitarian causes and the principles of free expression. Muratov’s unwavering dedication serves as an inspiration to journalists worldwide, highlighting the indispensable role of a free press in upholding democratic values and human rights.
