Because that website is named "Moscow times" I checked.
Despite the name they're legit, they can't even operate in Russia anymore, because they'll be arrested by the Russian government:
Following the passage of a law restricting coverage of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in March 2022, the newspaper moved its main editors to Amsterdam.[1][39] On 15 April, Roskomnadzor blocked access to the Russian-language website of The Moscow Times in Russia after it had published what authorities called a false report on Russian riot police officers refusing to participate in the invasion.[7][8] To make the website available within Russia despite blocks, it registered a range of domain names, sending links to the next current domain to readers via Telegram when one is blocked.[40]
On 17 March 2023, The Moscow Times said it has been designated a ‘foreign agent’ by Russia's justice ministry, which accused The Moscow Times of spreading inaccurate information about authorities' decisions, thereby forming a negative image of Russia. The Moscow Times said that the foreign agent legislation had been "disproportionately used”.[41]
On July 10, 2024, the Prosecutor General of Russia declared The Moscow Times an undesirable organization.[42] This designation practically bans the Times from operating in Russia, as anyone working for them or interacting with them (such as by agreeing to be interviewed) could potentially be prosecuted and sent to jail.[43]
Yeah, Putin basically blacklisted them, which is a shining endorsement in my book.

Thought that was obvious because the next line literally says:
Despite the name they’re legit,

Yes, it's literally the first sentence I quoted off the link....

Did you reply to the wrong person?
Hey, idk if you know this but the Moscow times aren't run by the kremlin.
Not many people know this, so I wanted to spread the word:
Moscow times is not based in Moscow
Many people get this confused, but it’s important to note that Moscow Times is run from outside of Russia, and is not, in fact, controlled or meaningfully influenced by the Russian government.
