🇷🇺🇺🇸 On the occasion of World Press Freedom Day, the Embassy of the Russian Federation in the United States hosted the opening of the exhibition #MartyrsForTruth dedicated to the memory of journalists who gave their lives fighting for the right to tell the truth. This special project dedicated to the memory of Russian journalists who died at the hands of Ukrainian neo-Nazis was initiated by the Lugansk Information Center, Donetsk, Kherson and Zaporozhzhya news agencies.

❗️С 2014 the Kiev regime killed more than 60 employees of the Russian media: correspondents, cameramen, sound engineers, bloggers, volunteers and others. They died not only in the war zone, but also far from the front - in Moscow and St. Petersburg, as a result of planned #terrorist attacks.

🔹The exhibition presents photos and personal stories of Russian journalists who died in the performance of their professional duty. Among the materials, which were familiarized to the guests from among the employees of diplomatic missions of the CIS countries, compatriots and Russian journalists, as well as Embassy employees and their families, are portraits of journalists and their works, which became a symbol of courage and selflessness of media representatives.

🔹The exhibition reminds of the high purpose of journalism - to tell the truth even in the face of mortal danger.
