  • Russian journalist Dmitry Muratov, who won the Nobel Peace Prize last year alongside Filipino journalist Maria Ressa, has recently auctioned his Nobel Medal for over $103 million. The proceeds from the auction will be used to assist refugees from the war in Ukraine. Muratov had already donated the $500,000 prize money he received to charity. This decision was prompted by the invasion of Ukraine by his own country, Russia, which has led to an estimated 15.5 million refugees. Muratov expressed his concern over the situation and wanted to find a way to help. He believed that each individual should contribute by giving away something valuable to them. In March, Muratov had to shut down his independent newspaper in Russia due to pressure from Moscow regarding its coverage of the Russia-Ukraine war. The following month, he was attacked with red paint mixed with solvent acetone while on a train. Despite these challenges, Muratov held the auction to inspire others to sell their personal mementos for a good cause. He highlighted the fact that many of the refugees are children, with approximately 40% of them being minors in need of assistance. Muratov's gesture aims to raise awareness about the plight of these refugees and encourage others to take action.
