Russian independent newspaper editor Dmitry Muratov has downplayed his prominence in the Nobel Peace Prize he received. Muratov insists that the whole paper earned the award, as a tribute to its six reporters or contributors who have been killed.
But the prestigious award wasn’t on his mind when the announcement came down that he’d been named co-winner. At the time Friday, Muratov was absorbed in an argument on the phone with a reporter, Elena Milashina.
“Should I rise?” Muratov said, then heard that Peskov said “he is committed to his ideals, he is talented, he is brave.”Other reactions from Kremlin circles were far less generous. Navalny’s dramatic arrest this year when he returned from Germany after recuperating from nerve-agent poisoning that he blames on the Kremlin gave him international prominence. Many of his supporters were disappointed that his bravery in confronting Russia’s government did not earn him the Nobel.
The most famous victim was Anna Politkovskaya, who reported on Russia’s Chechnya wars and was gunned down in the elevator of her Moscow apartment building in 2006. Muratov’s Nobel award was announced one day after the 15th anniversary of her killing. Although six people were convicted of involvement in the shooting, whoever ordered it has not been identified and the statute of limitations on the case expired on Thursday.
Prominent investigations at the paper in recent years include reporting on the alleged torture and murders of gay men by Chechen officials, publishing bodycam footage of Russian prison officials torturing an inmate and the beheading of a detainee in Syria by men believed to be Russian mercenaries working for a contractor closely tied to Putin.
