I’m at the Global Media Forum hosted by DW in Bonn. One of the speakers said journalism must serve truth, justice, and the law—even in times of chaos.
For Russian independent media, “the law”—has to be dropped. In Russia, the law has been turned into an instrument of lies and injustice.

Landed in Perugia for the #ijf25 — a place where journalism is still about journalism.
Not survival. Not endless negotiations with fear. Not a desperate political fight for the right to say what’s true.
Just… stories, facts, ethics, curiosity.
I want to be part of that world again.
