  • The eXile was a Moscow-based English-language biweekly free tabloid newspaper, aimed at the city's expatriate community, which combined outrageous, sometimes satirical, content with investigative reporting. In October 2006, co-editor Jake Rudnitsky summarized the eXile's editorial policy to The Independent: "We shit on everybody equally. " The newspaper is now published in an online-only format. Rolling Stone magazine said in 1998 that then-coeditors "Mark Ames and Matt Taibbi take the raw material of this decadent new Moscow and convert it into 25,000 instantly snapped-up issues of The eXile, consisting of misogynist rants, dumb pranks, insulting club listings and photos of blood-soaked corpses, all redeemed by political reporting that's read seriously not only in Moscow but also in Washington. " A CNN documentary in 1999 focusing on the eXile agreed, saying, "Brazen, irreverent, immodest, and rude, the eXile struggles with the harsh truth of the new century in Russia... Since 1997, Ames and Taibbi have lampooned and investigated greed, corruption, cowardice and complacency. " The Moscow Times writes that "The eXile, which publishes Gonzo-style journalism on topics such as drugs, prostitution and Moscow nightlife side-by-side with political analysis, has often pushed the limits of decency -- not to mention libel law. " Newsweek correspondent Owen Matthews called The eXile "brilliant and outrageous. " Its history saw a number of practical jokes or stunts, including reportedly getting Mikhail Gorbachev to enter negotiations to secure a position as "perestroika coordinator" for the New York Jets. Jonathan Shainin of Salon. com also wrote in 2005 that the eXile "ran serious press criticism salted with vicious personal attacks on reporters. " On June 19, 2008, The Daily Telegraph reported that following a government audit, the paper would cease to be printed and appear only on the internet. On 10 June 2008, columnist Gary Brecher ("The War Nerd") published a letter on the website asking for donations from readers, saying "it takes money and we have none, zero, aren't even getting paid any more". A month after shutting down because of government pressure, the newspaper launched a web site called eXiled Online. According to Mark Ames, the new site is to "focus more on the United States," though the Saint Peterburg Times reported that co-editor Yasha Levine will remain in Russia "as long as [he] can hold out."
  • The eXile — газета на английском языке, до 2008 года издававшаяся в Москве раз в две недели. С лета 2008 года издаётся в Панаме под названием The Exiled. Основана в 1997 году американским журналистом Марком Эймсом. В газете публиковались материалы о проститутках, стрип-барах, ночных клубах Москвы, политические комментарии, журналистские расследования, обзоры фильмов и книг. По состоянию на 2006 год выходила тиражом 25 тыс. экземпляров и имела 125 тыс. уникальных посетителей сайта каждые две недели. В июне 2008 года редакцию газеты посетили сотрудники Федеральной службы по надзору в сфере массовых коммуникаций, связи и охраны культурного наследия, которые интересовались публикацией статей Эдуарда Лимонова. По словам Эймса, чиновники сообщили ему, что проверка связана с жалобами читателей, которые утверждали, что газета «унижает Россию» и «насмехается над русской культурой и русскими традициями». Газеты была оштрафована за «административные нарушения». 10 июня на сайте The eXile появилось обращение колумниста Гэри Бречера, в котором он просил читателей о материальных пожертвованиях в пользу газеты в связи с финансовыми трудностями её выпуска. На новом сайте exiledonline. com имеется датируемая 22 июня страница «The eXile: Banned in Russia!» со ссылками на другие издания, по мнению которых, закрытие газеты объясняется цензурой.
