Dmitry Muratov, the editor in chief of Russia's last independent newspaper, won the award alongside Filipino journalist Maria Ressa.
“The effort to help those directly affected by this conflict is a worldwide appeal,” Jim Halperin, the co-chairman of Heritage Auctions, said in a statement. “Our role is to support courageous leaders such as Dmitry Muratov and his colleagues as they find inventive tactics for bringing relief to children hurt by this war.”The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees estimates that more than 6.8 million Ukrainians have fled the country since Russia invaded in February.
“A Nobel Prize gives you an important world stage and microphone,” Muratov said. “It doesn’t guarantee you safety, but it allows you to be heard. The message we must convey is that there is a war going on, and we need to help those who are suffering most right now.” The current bid for Muratov’s medal is $340,000, but the auction doesn’t close until June 20, World Refugee Day, so there’s still plenty of time to get in on the action—and lend some support to Ukrainians.
