Redkollegia (Russian: Редколлегия, lit. 'Editorial Board') is an independent media award established by the Sreda Foundation headed by Boris Zimin to support free professional journalism in Russia. In 2015, after the Sreda Foundation was closed, charitable activities of Boris Zimin are carried out through the Zimin Foundation. The prize is awarded monthly to several authors. The organizers of the award believe that in this way they will be able to “help those who maintain high professional standards in Russia at a time when free and high-quality journalism is under pressure from the state, and the human rights to freedom of expression and free access to information are systematically violated." The war in Ukraine created new challenges for the award that continues to support the independent journalists who still manage to perform their work in Russia. In particular, the jury has to take into account possible exposing the winners to risk, so before announcing the award publicly, the jury consults with the winners to determine whether they want their names disclose.
