All in Red...Nobel Winner Journalist Assaulted in Russia (Photos)

Dmitry Muratov, a Nobel Peace Prize-winning Russian journalist, was attacked while being on board a train heading from Moscow to Samara.

An unidentified man shouted at Muratov, the editor-in-chief of the Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta, and threw red paint at him, the newspaper reported on Telegram.

The journalist said the attacker allegedly shouted, "Muratov, here's one for our boys," likely in reference to the Russian military.

Pictures of the aftermath show blood-red paint covering his body and clothes, as well as the train compartment and his belongings.

"They poured oil paint with acetone in the compartment. My eyes are burning terribly," Muratov said after the attack, according to Novaya Gazeta Europe.

It is worth noting that Muratov won the Nobel Peace Prize last year for his work with Novaya Gazeta, which he co-founded in 1991.
