NEW YORK, NEW YORK – JUNE 20: Nobel Peace Prize winner Dmitry Muratov, editor-in-chief of the Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta, speaks at a charity auction at The Times Center on June 20, 2022 in New York City. Muratov auctioned off his 2021 23-carat-gold medal for a winning bid of $103.5 million, with the proceeds going to UNICEF’s humanitarian efforts to support children and families forced to flee Ukraine and those internally displaced.
The sale was a spirited one, with lots of applause and bidders egging one another on to increase the total. Muratov was seen recording videos of the bidding screen and those in the room. This year, it became the only major newspaper left voicing criticism of President Vladimir Putin and his tactics inside and outside the country.
Muratov’s medal was available to bidders both in person and online, with all proceeds going to UNICEF’s Humanitarian Response for Ukrainian Children Displaced by War.
Humanity at its peak. God bless you
