Novaya Gazeta, Russia's best-known independent newspaper, has closed its Moscow office after more than three decades, when authorities ordered it out of its longtime building on Potapovsky Lane. The paper said years of state pressure, including its foreign agent label and the blocking of reader donations, had made carrying on there impossible. Staff finally walked out of the newsroom for the last time on Monday.
