Meduza is a Riga-based online newspaper and news aggregator in the Russian language, headed by Galina Timchenko, the former editor-in-chief of Russian news website Lenta.ru.
Meduza is an aggregator of news and texts in Russian, to be selected in manual mode, unlike the automatic rankings of Yandex News. The main criterion for the published content should be the relevance and reliability of the information, not the status of the source. Also, Meduza will create its own materials. The site includes 5 main topics, no sections and columns. One of the formats of the publication will be the analysis of complex issues using cards, similar to the American project vox.com. The basis of the media will be free mobile app for iOS, Android and Windows Phone.
In February 2015, the website also launched a version in the English language. In January 2016, founder and CEO Galina Timchenko handed over the role of chief editor to her deputy Ivan Kolpakov.
Meduza is run by a team of around 20 journalists who resigned from their jobs at Lenta.ru following Galina Timchenko’s unexpected removal from her post by the website’s owner and Vladimir Putin ally, the oligarch Alexander Mamut. There are no Latvian journalists in the project.
One heart of fire, another made of ice
What I once I though was true, has shown to be lies
I know you've been mistreated
You have been hurt
But treating me this way
Won't take away your pain
No tears, I'll cry for you
Although my heart's bleeding
I won't shed a drop
'Cause you are no worth it
You are nothing to me
Shed no tears
My life is passion, your life is full of rules
You think that passion's something made just for fools
[A:] There's nothing more to say now
[S:] Nothing to say
[A:] You've had your chance
[S:] You've had your chance
[A:] You threw away the key that opens up my heart
[S:] My heart
No tears, I'll cry for you
Although my heart's bleeding
I won't shed a drop
'Cause you are no worth it
You are nothing to me
Shed no tears
[SOLO]
No tears, I'll cry for you
Although my heart's bleeding
I won't shed a drop
'Cause you are no worth it
You are nothing to me
Shed no tears.
