Ekho Moskvy radio commentator Matvei Ganapolsky speaking on Dozhd TV in #Moscow about the dissolving of the Ekho Moskvy board of directors. 

“Of course, I doubt that Vladimir Putin gave an order to do something about Ekho Moskvy. But don’t forget that Gazprom Media is a state organization, so they feel they need to make some body movements — I’m quoting [Aleksei] Venediktov here — to show that, because [Putin] has criticized Ekho Moskvy, now they’re helping him criticize it.”
