Come to the Comedy Café, sit at tables with friends while brilliant
actors, comedians, editors, journalists and everything in between make
you laugh, eat, drink and think. The Paul Klebnikov Fund was established in the memory of Paul Klebnikov, American journalist and editor of Forbes Russia, who was assassinated in Moscow in 2004. Our foundation upholds the growth of civil society in Russia by supporting journalistic integrity, the rule of law and cultural preservation.

Since its inception, the Fund has given grants to 30 Russian editors and journalism interns, offering professional experiences in the U.S. and with Western newspapers in Moscow. We are deeply grateful to the Ford Foundation and the Harriman Institute for having generously supported part of Katya Kronhaus’s 2011 Klebnikov Russian Civil Society Fellowship which brings her to New York. www.paulklebnikovfund.org
