Duo Russian journalists release book on their experiences reporting in Russia

Andrei Soldatov and Irina Borogan are longtime respected Russian journalists. However, since 2020, they've been based in London, and not by choice. For years now, the Kremlin has clamped down on press freedom, and has ratcheted up the pressure on journalists, with threats, arrests and even violence. In Borogan and Soldatov's latest book, Our Dear Friends in Moscow," they document their journey as journalists in Russia over the past two decades. It's also a portrait of how their friends changed as Russian President Vladimir Putin solidified his grasp on power. The World's Daniel Ofman spoke with them earlier this month.
