Russian Newspaper Joins Forces With WikiLeaks - World Watch - CBS News: "WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has said his organization has damning materials about Russia, and now Novaya Gazeta, perhaps the dominant independent Russian newspaper, has unfettered access to them, according to a Bloomberg News report.
Novaya Gazeta, which is controlled by former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev and billionaire Alexander Lebedev, said on its website that it agreed to join forces with WikiLeaks to expose corruption in Russia, Bloomberg reports.
Novaya Gazeta has agreed to become the primary vehicle for publishing WikiLeaks materials on Russia, much like The New York Times did for WikiLeaks' stolen U.S. diplomatic cables.
'Assange said that Russians will soon find out a lot about their country and he wasn't bluffing,' Novaya Gazeta said. 'Our collaboration will expose corruption at the top tiers of political power. No one is protected from the truth"
