The man shouted: “Muratov, this is for our guys”, the Nobel Laureate reported, in an apparent reference to Russian casualties from the invasion of Ukraine. The information from Novaya Gazeta was accompanied by two photos of Muratov: in one of them, apparently in the bathroom of the train with the head, chest and arms covered in the red substance. In other, you see the red stains on the train car.

“Muratov received first aid. We are looking for the criminal who did it”Kirill Martinov, Muratov’s former deputy editor, wrote on Twitter, who believes the attack may have caused damage to the journalist’s eyes.

Last month, Novaya Gazeta announced that it was suspending its publication in print and on the Internet until the end of the conflict in Ukraine. Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, the Kremlin has increased control measures for independent media, passing laws that can lead to jail sentences for those who criticize the military invasion.
