CloseRussia's leading independent newspaper has closed after being evicted from its offices and facing pressure from authorities.

For 30 years, Novaya Gazeta published investigations into corruption, human rights violations and abuse of power in the country.

On Monday, the team behind the newspaper had a final editorial meeting before packing up their belongings and leaving.

The Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia's media was highly diverse and that the newspaper's closure was part of "a standard rotational process".

The BBC spoke to its co-founder Dmitry Muratov, a Nobel Peace Prize winner, about the closure.
