Recipients

Dmitry Kiselyov

On April 3, 2014, by decree of Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaite, Russian journalist and TV presenter Dmitry Kiselyov was deprived of this medal, awarded to him in 1994, for what Grybauskaite designated as discrediting the title of the recipient by mocking the fundamental values of freedom and democracy on air.[5][6]

On the same day, Russian TV presenter and journalist Tatyana Mitkova refused this medal as a sign of solidarity with Dmitry Kiselyov. On the air of her program. the TV presenter said: “I officially declare that I refuse the medal awarded to me at the same time and ask the President of Lithuania, Mrs. Grybauskaite, to remove me from the list of awardees.”[7] On April 14, Tatyana Mitkova was deprived of the award by decree of Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaite.[8]
