Radio station Echo of Moscow played an important role in Russia for a long time, providing an open platform for all views and positions. Although the station belonged to the Kremlin-affiliated holding company Gazprom-Media it was allowed to maintain its critical stance. However, a week after the invasion of Ukraine in 2022 it was taken off air and the owners decided to close it down. The website and YouTube channel were also shut down.
