Providers were warned against reposting Navalny

At the end of March 2014, the Moscow prosecutor's office sent warnings to two Russian content providers against reprinting Alexei Navalny's blog.

On April 1, 2014, it became known that on March 21, 2014, the Moscow Prosecutor's Office sent warnings about the inadmissibility of breaking the law to two Russian content providers ("Afisha-Rambler-SUP" and an unnamed company).

In a number of blogs and social networks, writes Andrei Gantsev, Deputy Prosecutor of Moscow, , " on behalf of a citizen Navalny Alexey Anatolyevich and a group of persons associated with him is carried out systematic publication of texts, video and audio materials , which, according to the prosecutor's office, " contributes to the violation of the injunction ." Besides, says in the warnings, members of open groups " in the interests of Navalny A.A. "publish texts that contain calls" to participate in mass public events held in violation of the established order," and Navalny's Twitter, LiveJournal, and VKontakte " form an opinion on the need and permissibility of said violations .

PR director of the Afisha-Rambler-SUP company, Sofya Ivanova stated that the company had accepted note, because it does not indicate any specific violations. A spokesperson for another content provider who received the warning noted that that it does not require specific actions to be taken.

Alexey's blog Navalny in LiveJournal (navalny.livejournal.com) was blocked Roskomnadzor at the request of the Prosecutor General's Office and entered in the unified register of prohibited information - as violating the provisions a court decision on the choice of a measure of restraint for a citizen in respect of whom a criminal case has been initiated. Recall that at the time of blocking no information in his blog containing " calls for riots, the implementation of extremist activity, incitement of international and (or) interfaith strife, participation in terrorist activities, participation in public mass events held in violation of the established order ", was not known. Actually, what are the claims prosecutor's office, it is still unknown: the warnings of the prosecutor's office do not contain indications of specific violations. From our point of view, the blog has been blocked illegal (and as always entirely).

On April 16, 2013, the General Director of the VKontakte network, Pavel Durov, said that on March 13, the Prosecutor General's Office, on similar grounds, demanded that he close the page of Navalny's supporters vk.com/rospil, but he refused to comply with this order.
