Trapped in a Moscow 'Gilded Cage': Reporting on World War II from The Red Hotel.

"The Red Hotel" by Alan Philps tells the story of Western journalists who were largely confined to Moscow's Metropol Hotel as they attempted to cover the Soviet side of World War II. Journalists were required to live and work under constant scrutiny at the Metropol Hotel, just a couple of blocks from the Kremlin. They were force-fed Soviet propaganda and faced heavy-handed military censorship before any of their stories could be sent to their publications back home.

Western Journalists Barred from Russia's 'Davos' by Kremlin

The Kremlin has announced that journalists from "unfriendly countries" will not be allowed to attend the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, which is often seen as Russia's answer to the World Economic Forum in Davos. This marks the first time that Western journalists have been banned from the forum in such a blanket way. The move is seen as a further crackdown on media freedom in Russia, with the term "unfriendly countries" being used to describe those who have sanctioned Russia over the war in Ukraine.
