Russian Journalist Dmitri Muratov Auctions Off Nobel Prize for Ukrainian Children
Russian journalist Dmitri Muratov will be actioning off his Nobel Peace Prize medal Monday to benefit children displaced by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the Associated Press reported.
The funds from the auction will be donated to UNICEF, the AP reported.
Muratov received the Nobel Peace Prize in October 2021 for his efforts in helping fund the independent Russian newspaper Novaya Gazetta. Muratov served as its editor-in-chief when it was shut down in March, following Russia's early invasion of Ukraine and the Kremlin's crackdown on journalists and public opposition.
Muratov has been openly critical of the war launched by Russia in February, which has created the largest humanitarian crisis in Europe since World War II. Nearly five million Ukrainians have fled Ukraine.
Muratov told the AP he thought of the idea to auction off his gold medal while thinking about the children who have become orphaned by the Russia-Ukraine conflict. “We want to return their future,” he told the AP.
