I just took a survey about where Meduza is read from and saw: most people, as I expected, are from the same place as me, from Russia. For us here, the motherland does everything it can to cut us off from sources of independent, truthful information, to block our communication channels and access to knowledge... This is the kind of time we have to live in, and we are learning to cope with it. And for me, as for many, a reliable, high-quality, trustworthy channel for receiving information has long been Meduza. Huge thanks to the Meduza staff: they survive in the most difficult conditions and do the most necessary work for us: they provide us with the truth, which here is like a breath of fresh air... At the same time, they work professionally and objectively, as befits a serious, reputable media outlet. Believe me, we really, really need this here! And we - hostages of the situation in Russia - cannot even support Meduza with rubles ourselves; we have been cut off from this opportunity too. That is why I am taking the opportunity to support Meduza with words. If these words of mine catch the eye of someone who has the opportunity to support Meduza with their hard-earned dollar, euro, or other money - please do so! Thank you.
