Inside the Struggle to Preserve the World's Data
When masked gunmen smashed their way into the offices of the Crimean
Centre for Investigative Journalism, the staff knew what was coming. For
years, the centre had been a lone crusading voice exposing deep-rooted
corruption in Ukrainian government circles, defying threats of violence
and attempts to close it down. Now it was payback time as the thugs
trashed the premises, seizing computers, hard drives and confidential
files. Their objective was clear: erase the centre?s ?institutional
memory? by taking its website, containing some 16,000 pages of dedicated
investigative reporting, off the internet for good.
