Dmitry Muratov is a Russian journalist, TV presenter, one of the founders and editor-in-chief of Novaya Gazeta.

Maria Ressa is a journalist and writer who co-founded the news and investigation website Rappler. She worked for about 20 years as a leading investigative reporter in Southeast Asia.
President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin congratulated Muratov on the award of the Nobel Peace Prize.

In 2021, the laureates will receive 10 million Swedish kronor (about 81 million rubles).
