Muradov, editor in chief of the Chechen newspaper Groznensky rabochy and Chechnya correspondent for the independent Moscow daily Kommersant, is widely considered to be one of the most objective and authoritative journalists covering Chechnya. He will discuss the tactics used by the Kremlin to silence independent reporting and analysis, the impact of Chechnya’s recent presidential election campaign, and likely political developments there in the near future. His talk is to take place on Monday, November 24, at 2.00 p.m. at the United Nations Correspondents’ Association Club in the 3rd floor press area in the UN Secretariat; entrance is from First Avenue and 46th Street in Manhattan.
