Vedomosti Newspaper Censured for Extremism

Russia’s Roskomnadzor, the agency responsible for mass media supervision, issued a formal warning to leading Russian business newspaper Vedomosti for “extremist activities.” According to Roskomnadzor, a Vedomosti article about the recent Moscow subway terrorist attacks the newspaper “publicly justified the terrorist activity.” The newspaper disagrees and intends to challenge the warning in court. (After receiving two warnings a newspaper may be shut down.)
