Attack on Press Freedom
Foreign and local media executives expressed frustration at what seems to be a direct attack on press freedom.
The Financial Times quoted a foreign executive who was heard saying:
"In fact, this writes Russian raider attacks into law – it will mean a raft of forced sales. Kremlin conservatives are using anti-foreign sentiment created by Moscow's stand-off with the west over Ukraine to consolidate the grip of select companions of Mr Putin on the media industry."
