Andrzej Zaucha (reporter)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Andrzej Zaucha (born 1967) is a Polish journalist and writer.

Born in Zakliczyn near Tarnów, southern Poland, Zaucha has reported as a journalist in Russia and Chechnya. Since 1997 he has been based in Moscow as a correspondent for the Polish daily "Gazeta Wyborcza", private radio station RMF FM, and television network TVN.[1] In 2003 Zaucha published "Moscow: Nord-Ost" regarding the terrorist attack on Moscow's Dubrovka Theatre in October 2002.[2]

He has also reported for TVN and TVN24 stations on, among other things, Russian presidential and parliamentary elections, political demonstrations in Moscow, the Polish Tu-154 crash in Smolensk[3] and Russia's annexation of Crimea.[4]

In March 2022, after the start of Russian aggression against Ukraine and the adoption by the Russian parliament of a law that harms the media (providing for up to 15 years in prison for “untrue” - from the Kremlin's point of view - information about the actions of the Russian military), it was withdrawn from Russian territory.[5]
