There is also TV Rain (or Dozhd, its Russian name), an independent TV station which my Belarusian friend recommended to me as the only Russian news source he uses. Unfortunately it seems you can only donate if you’re a Russian citizen...(I guess Meduza gets around the restriction because it’s based in Latvia)
Thank you for these suggestions, though; I’ve donated to both of them.
Unfortunately, TV Rain website was blocked a few days ago by the Russian government and they suspended all the broadcasting. They operated from Moscow and risks of repressions for them were really high.
I would say that Meduza is the main independent news source in Russia right now. They can experience funding gaps because a lot of Russian citizens won’t be able to make donations with their bank cards because of sanctions. Thanks for your donations!
