The chief editor of The Project investigative news outlet has left Russia with no plans to return and is trying to evacuate his staff after the group was declared an undesirable organization by the Prosecutor-General s Office in Moscow.
The U.S.-registered media outlet has published a series of well-researched, unflattering, and sometimes embarrassing investigations into Russia s ruling elite.
Roman Badanin told Reuters in an interview in New York that was published on July 29 that he had no plans to return to Russia in the foreseeable future. He said that s because he may face criminal prosecution and imprisonment there for up to six years under Russia s controversial 2015 law on undesirable organizations.
