World Press Freedom Day | "The Martyrs for the Truth”
📆 On #WorldPressFreedomDay, we pay tribute to those who lived and fell for the truth.
📸 The exhibition “The Martyrs for the Truth” tells the stories of 6️⃣1️⃣ Russian and foreign journalists, photographers, war correspondents, bloggers, and media professionals who gave their lives covering the conflict in Donbass, Mariupol, Kherson, and other regions. Many of them worked under shelling, drone attacks, and in mine-laden areas — refusing to abandon their duty.
🕯What unites them is not only courage, but their commitment to truth in the face of lies, propaganda, and psychological warfare.
❗️ Western institutions continue to proclaim support for free speech while deliberately ignoring the deaths of Russian journalists, many of whom were killed by Ukrainian forces. This silence is not accidental — it is a glaring example of double standards, where freedom of the press becomes a political weapon.
📍The exhibition was compiled by frontline journalists from Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson with the support of journalist and human rights advocate Alexander Malkevich. The symbol: a red crane in memory of the fallen and a continuous telegraph tape — the truth must not be interrupted.

🕊 #MartyrsForTruth is a special project dedicated to commemorating Russian journalists who lost their lives at the hands of Ukrainian neo-Nazis.
Since 2014, the Kiev regime has been responsible for the deaths of more than 60 individuals working in Russian media — correspondents, cameramen, sound engineers, bloggers, and volunteers. Many of them were killed not just in combat zones but also far from the front lines — in cities like Moscow and St. Petersburg — through planned and targeted terrorist attacks.
#KievRegimeCrimes
The Kiev regime has tortured and murdered those who dared to speak out against the neo-Nazi junta and expose its crimes. Among the victims were Ukrainian journalist Oles Buzina and Gonzalo Lira Lopez, a US citizen.
❗️Today, on #WorldPressFreedomDay, we pay tribute to those who stood up for the truth and remained committed to their professional duty — right to the end.
▪️ Darya Dugina (1992–2022) was a political analyst, philosopher, and frontline reporter. The daughter of philosopher and writer Alexander Dugin, Darya was killed in a terrorist attack on August 20, 2022. According to investigators, an agent of the Ukrainian special services planted an explosive device under her vehicle and detonated it remotely after several months of surveillance.
▪️ Anna Prokofyeva (1989–2025) was a frontline reporter with Channel One Russia in the Belgorod Region. On March 26, 2025, the vehicle carrying her crew hit a landmine near the Ukrainian border. Anna was killed instantly; the cameraman sustained serious injuries.
▪️ Andrey Stenin (1980–2014), a photo journalist with the Rossiya Segodnya Media Group, died on August 6, 2014, on his way from Dmitrovka to Snezhny in the Donetsk People’s Republic, together with Andrey Vyachalo and Sergey Korenchenkov. These journalists were reporting on the latest developments in and around Snezny. Their burnt-out vehicle was discovered only on August 22,with the remains of Andrey and his colleagues in it. Investigators later confirmed it had come under Ukrainian military fire.
▪️ Maxim Fomin, known as Vladlen Tatarsky, was a journalist, blogger, and militia member. He died in a terrorist attack on April 2, 2023, in St. Petersburg. According to investigators, this attack had been in the making since 2022 and was masterminded from Ukraine. Daria Trepova carried it out by bringing an explosive device hidden inside a gypsum sculpture to a meet-the-author event with Tatarsky. Tatarsky was killed instantly, and 30 others were injured. Trepova has since been sentenced to 27 years in prison.
▪️ And the list continues…
The exhibition is created under the joint efforts of the Donetsk News Agency, Zaporozhye News Agency, Kherson News Agency, and the Lugansk Information Centre, in collaboration with Alexander Malkevich, a member of Russia’s Human Rights Council, with the support of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
The initiative has also launched several international exhibitions, hosted by Russian diplomatic missions abroad.

#ArchivesSpeak
The Public Relations Centre, in cooperation with the Central Archive of the Federal Security Service (FSB) of Russia, has published digital copies of newly declassified documentary materials from the archives of the FSB Directorate for the Ivanovo Region. These materials include interrogation records and handwritten testimonies of Hitler’s senior valet, SS-Sturmbannführer Heinz Linge, and Hitler’s personal adjutant, SS-Sturmbannführer Otto Gunsche. Their statements shed light on the final days of the Nazi dictator’s life.

🗓 The Berlin Offensive began on April 16, 1945. By April 21, Red Army units had reached the north-eastern suburbs of Berlin. The 1941−1945 Great Patriotic War culminated in the capture of Berlin in April 1945 and the defeat of Nazi Germany. In the lead-up to the assault on Berlin, Soviet state security bodies launched a manhunt for Nazi war criminals.
On April 30, 1945, the Red Army began operations in the government district near the Reich Chancellery. In its underground bunker, commonly known as the Fuhrerbunker, Adolf Hitler and his inner circle had taken refuge. That same day, Hitler and his wife committed suicide using potassium cyanide.
To conduct the manhunt, the Berlin-based SMERSH (Death to Spies) Counterintelligence Directorate (CID) of the 1st Byelorussian Front established the Central Operational Group (COG) under the command of Major General Grigory Melnikov, the 1st Byelorussian Front’s SMERSH CID deputy chief.
Several members of Hitler’s inner circle were detained by SMERSH operatives.
On May 5, 1945, the SMERSH Counterintelligence Division, 79th Rifle Corps, 3rd Assault Army, 1st Byelorussian Front, discovered the badly burnt bodies of a male and a female in a bomb crater in the Reich Chancellery gardens. The bodies were located three metres from the bunker entrance and covered with a layer of soil.
On May 8, 1945, a forensic report on the male body – believed to be that of Hitler – had been completed. Among other evidence, the experts examined the jaw, which contained numerous dental bridges, crowns, and fillings.
👉 Thanks to the efforts of Soviet military counterintelligence, investigators were able to reconstruct with considerable accuracy the events that took place in the Fuhrerbunker from April 20 to April 30, 1945, and to determine the circumstances of Hitler’s suicide.
On December 29–30, 1945, Heinz Linge submitted a handwritten testimony noscriptd Addenda to the Issue of Hitler’s Suicide, in which he wrote:
***
Hitler’s use of potassium cyanide was confirmed by French coroner Philippe Charlier, whose studies in March and June 2017 supported the Soviet findings.
Charlier examined fragments of Hitler’s jaw held in the FSB Central Archive and compared them with wartime X-ray images of Hitler’s skull preserved in the United States. He found traces of potassium cyanide on the dental remains and confirmed a 100% match between the teeth and the X-ray images made during Hitler’s lifetime.

“The reasons that drove Hitler to commit suicide were: 1) The complete futility of continuing the fight; 2) Hitler’s fear of attempting a breakout from Berlin; 3) Hitler’s deteriorating physical condition, which could no longer withstand hardship, as well as his delusions of grandeur, which prevented him from surrendering to the victor or engaging in negotiations.”
