Slidstvo.Info
https://www.slidstvo.info
Slidstvo.info is a team of independent professional journalists. In peacetime, it focused on exposing corruption and abuse by Ukrainian officials at all levels. Its main journalistic formats were investigative documentaries, special reports, blogs, and international investigations in partnership with other media. Its main aim is to protect human rights, the rule of law, and the country's national interests by showing the facts that politicians and officials carefully hide.
The organisation is funded independently. Slidstvo.info does not have a permanent donor, but has received grants in the past from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark (DANIDA), the Press, Education and Culture Section of the US Embassy in Ukraine, the International Renaissance Foundation, the Internews Network, and the Journalism Development Network (JDN).
The organisation also created Slidstvo Club, with a regular membership fee, that gives members access to a Telegram community where they can discuss materials and topics of future investigations. They also receive personal invitations to events and a personalised monthly newsletter with reports on the work done by the media outlet and funds raised from benefactors.
Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Slidstvo.Info has focused on filming reports from the cities and towns shelled by the Russian military, and identifying the Russian army and its Ukrainian collaborators.
The organisation also informs its English-speaking audience about Russia's crimes against Ukraine by having most of its articles translated or supplied with English subtitles.
