Their departure from Russia came after President Vladimir Putin signed a law imposing a jail term of up to 15 years for spreading “fake” news about the military, making it effectively illegal to criticise Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.“The page of Russian modern history called independent journalism has been turned,” Dzyadko, Dozhd’s editor-in-chief, told Reuters in a bare-bones television studio in Georgia, one of several countries they plan to broadcast from.

The Kremlin describes its actions in Ukraine as a special military operation and accuses media that criticise it or its actions of being out to destroy Russia. Though many aspects of the relaunch remain to be determined — including its date and precise format — Kotrikadze says Dozhd aspires to be “a real problem for Russian propaganda”.Isolated audience
