In 2017 the magazine ceased its print publication and became an
online-only publication. After an interview of Yevgenia Albats with opposition politician
Alexei Navalny, aired on
Echo of Moscow,
The New Times faced a 22 million ruble fine in October 2018. The fine amount (almost $370,000) was crowd-funded in four days. On 28 February 2022,
Roskomnadzor blocked the website of the magazine for its coverage of the
Russian invasion of Ukraine. Editor Yevgenia Albats fled Russia in September to avoid persecution. File:AlekseevNewTimes.jpg|
