Muratov said on Friday that he himself would vote for Navalny if he were a member of the prize committee. His newspaper, Novaya Gazeta, covered the issue of Navanizh’s persecution in detail, constantly drawing attention to the corruption of the Putin regime and violations of human rights.
Other members of Navalny’s circle are calling for calm, such as Ksenia Fadeeva, Navalny’s former chief of staff in Tomsk.

“I would have been happy if Navalny had received the award, he deserved it. But I do not understand Muradov’s hatred. It was a prize not only for himself but for Novaya Gazeta and the weak media. “
