Upon what appears to have been Golunov's unjust arrest and detention by the police in Moscow, the Russian press united in demanding his release. Largely as a result of the media's stance, which galvanised public opinion in Russia, Golunov's detention ended in a matter of days. It stands as a pristine example of how a free and independent press functions in holding the authorities to account on behalf of the people. Today in Britain, in grim contrast, we have a mainstream media that operates more along the lines of holding the people to account on behalf of the powerful; the plight of Julian Assange being a case in point.
