 For all those wondering what the "Save The eXile Fundraiser" banner is all about, here it is as simply as it can be phrased: The eXile is shutting down. It all started two weeks ago, with an innocuous-looking fax from the Federal Service for Mass Media, Telecommunications and the Protection of Cultural Heritage. The barely legible fax informed us that our paper was slated for an unscheduled inspection to see if it had violated any media laws. It didn't specify which ones. A week later, a four person team of polite chinovniks showed up to ask some questions and grabbed a few eXile issues for an “expert analysis” on their way out back to their lair. News of their visit had our investors fleeing instantly, and in no time at all, was kicking up a media shit storm that’s only now beginning to gather full strength.
I've been stuck in the US renewing my Russian visa and will rejoin the effort in a few days. In the meantime, Ames has been blogging the closure as it happens in minute detail on Radar's website. Check out his first post here and his second one here.
Stay tuned for more updates... In the meantime, do your part to save The eXile. Donate money to ensure our website stays up and running.
