It might not have been everyone's idea of a good read, but there is no doubt that The Exile, Moscow's utterly independent, and politically incorrect (in every sense of those words) fortnightly paper was a publishing legend.
Every English-language, expat newspaper in the world wanted to be the Exile, though few, if any, ever made the cut. Who remembers the Prague Pill?
News reaches us today via The Daily Telegraph however that The Exile is no more.
Dead, gone. This paper is an ex-exile.
A recent raid by the Russian authorities, ostensibly to scour back issues for op eds that mocked Russian tradition was enough to have invetsors scrambling for cover. So the printed fortnightly paper is no more. Only the website remains, and it appears they need cash to keep that going too.
