Russian Union of Journalists (RUJ; Russian: Союз журналистов России) is the largest professional association of media workers in the Russian Federation, claiming more than 100,000 members across eighty-two regional branches and about forty specialist guilds. The organisation combines the functions of a trade union with those of a public-interest NGO, seeking to defend journalists’ labour rights while promoting professional ethics and freedom of expression.
