Nobel Peace Prize-winning editor Dmitry Muratov was attacked with red oil paint and acetone on a train for his criticism of president Vladimir Putin and his newspaper’s coverage of the war in Ukraine.
Mr Muratov, who is the editor-in-chief of the Novaya Gazeta newspaper, said a miscreant poured the paint with acetone all over his sleeping compartment on the train bound for the Samara city from Moscow on Thursday.
