== History == IStories (the "I" stands for "important") was launched at the end of April 2020. Its founders are Russian journalists Roman Anin and Olesya Shmagun. Anin, Shmagun and several other journalists in their team had previously worked for Novaya Gazeta, a Russian newspaper. 4 out of 10 journalists at IStories were taking part in investigation of the Panama Papers. IStories was created in response to the growing pressure from the Russian government on the media.
