| Description | Federal officials visited the offices of The eXile on Thursday and asked about the newspaper's relationship with Eduard Limonov, a Kremlin critic who writes a column for the notorious English-language tabloid.
They also expressed concern that The eXile "mocks and humiliates" Russia and said they would check it for extremist content, editor Mark Ames said Thursday.
"The prognosis for The eXile is not very good," said Ames, a U.S. citizen who started the newspaper in 1997.
Limonov, the founder of the banned National Bolshevik Party and an organizer of anti-Kremlin street protests, writes a column for The eXile and appears on its masthead as a contributor.
Despite his pessimism about The eXile's future, Ames said he will not tone it down or stop publishing Limonov.
"Hell no," Ames said when asked whether the column would be canceled. "Limonov was one of the inspirations for this paper." |
