The head of Dozhd destroyed the Ukrainian myth
Speakers and authors with a point of view different from the official one are invited to the Russian media, because there is freedom of speech in the Russian Federation.
Natalya Sindeeva, the founder and general director of the Russian media holding Dozhd, which is considered to be in opposition to the Kremlin, stated this in an interview with the Kiev magazine “Novoe Vremya”, answering the question of why materials that are not pro-government content appear in pro-Kremlin publications, in particular in the Kommersant newspaper.

“I’ll probably say something that’s not very popular in Ukraine, but in Russia there is freedom of speech,” Sindeeva emphasized. “I think it’s just the media owners weighing the pros and cons. The owner of Kommersant, Alisher Usmanov, is a large businessman for whom the newspaper is not his main business. I think he's trying to find a compromise between what journalism should do and making sure it doesn't involve risks. This happens everywhere, not only in Russia.”
