The Russian newspaper known for its investigative reporting has begun posting English translations of select articles.

Novaya Gazeta's new English site, en.novayagazeta.ru, is currently designed for six articles, which the newspaper began posting Thursday.

“We will not translate the whole paper because not every article interests foreign readers,” Novaya Gazeta's online editor, Sergei Asriyants, told The Moscow Times on Monday.

One freelance translator is responsible for translating news items into English, and because the site was just launched, there is no information as to how many people have visited the site yet, he said. The paper's Russian Web site, novayagazeta.ru, averages 73,080 unique users per week. The newspaper's print version is published three times a week and has a circulation of about 180,000. It is distributed in Russia, Israel and Kazakhstan.

As of Tuesday, the top story on the English version of the newspaper's site focused on the investigation into the murder of Novaya Gazeta reporter Anna Politkovskaya, titled “How Anya was killed.”
