On January 26, a survey was conducted on the Rain website, did Leningrad need to be saved in order to save hundreds of thousands of lives? ”, Which caused a wide resonance in the blogosphere. Later, the channel recognized the survey by a mistake and apologized for it. The survey was condemned in the State Duma, and the deputies of the St. Petersburg Zaks asked the prosecutor's office to check the TV channel and punish it "up to the closure."

Later, the largest telecommunications operator Rostelecom and a number of other companies in Russia, including Akado, Er-Telecom and Vimpelcom, stopped the broadcasting of Rain. On Monday, it became known that the agreement with the rain was terminated by the last large cable operator - Tricolor -TV. Broadcasting will be discontinued on February 10.

In Roskomnadzor, they came to the conclusion that the rain violated article 49 of the Law "On Media", which states that "in the implementation of professional activities, the journalist is obliged to respect the rights, legitimate interests, honor and dignity of citizens and organizations." However, the channel was not warned, limited to preventive writing.

On Tuesday, Rain announced his readiness to transmit his signal to Russian cable television operators for free . The proposal is valid from February 1 to the end of 2014. The adoption of such a decision is explained in the document "The events of the last days."

Meanwhile, the Ombudsman Vladimir Lukin and the head of the Presidential Council for Human Rights Mikhail Fedotov previously also demanded to open a criminal case against cable operators who turned off the broadcasting of the rain. They stated that there were signs of a cartel conspiracy that seriously violates the rights and legitimate interests of viewers, which are unilaterally deprived of access to the media products paid.

On Tuesday, Alexei Navalny said that the Society for the Protection of Consumers of the Corruption Fund intends to file lawsuits in defense of the uncertain circle of consumers , whose rights are violated by the actions of cable television operators who excluded rain from their packages. The politician emphasized that "hmyri from cable networks, of course, are not outraged by anything, but are simply political prostitutes who are obviously illegally indicating the introduction of censorship."
