On the morning of September 16, the GLOBALCHECK Internet blockers system monitoring the Russian Internet blockers reported about the problems of access to the Google Docs service.
Globalcheck later added that Roskomnadzor began to block the Telegra.ph service from the Telegram team, probably for the same reason.“Probably, blocking is related to the publication of smart voting lists on Google's resource,” the portal said in a statement .
On September 15, a list of opposition candidates was released on the Web, for whom, according to Smart Voting, it is worth voting in the upcoming elections to the State Duma.
Access to the Google and Telegra.ph service was restored on the same day - September 16, RoskomSvoboda told .
“But it seems that during the night lock the forbidden list of permitted candidates has already gone to many sites,” added to Roskomskvobod.
Recall, on September 7, Roskomnadzor limited access to the Smart Voting website, which was created by the supporters of Alexei Navalny.
