SCOOP © FRANCE 24

As Russia holds a presidential election, some of the most reliable information on the country is being reported from beyond its borders. After launching its full-scale invasion of Ukraine just over two years ago, the Kremlin launched a media crackdown so severe that independent journalists were forced to either stop working or flee the country. We speak to TV Rain's Ekaterina Kotrikadze and Denis Kataev as well as the founder of The Bell newspaper, Liza Osetinskaya.
