Recently, the pro -Kremlin media publish obviously false information and at the same time have come out with frankly human rights positions. So, TV presenter Dmitry Kiselev promised to turn the United States into a “radioactive ash” on March 16 if this country has been taking military interference due to the situation with Ukraine. On March 21, the European Union included Kiselev in the sanctions list , banning him along with a number of other officials and oligarchs involved in the annexation of Crimea, entering the EU and frozen its assets in the territory of the Union members. On April 3, Lithuania deprived Kiselev medals for his contribution to defense of the country's independence.

On March 26 , the broadcasting of four Russian television channels was suspended in Ukraine: Channel One, RTR, Russia-24 and NTV. On April 3, Latvia for three months limited the relay of RTR .

Meanwhile, the pressure on the media has intensified in the past few months. In December 2013, it was decided to reorganize RIA Novosti at the Russian Propaganda Agency Today. Since January 2014, the persecution of the Rain television channel has been continuing, which threatened to close it. In March, the leadership of Lenta.ru was replaced, as well as the “facets”, Kasparov.ru and “Daily Journal” were blocked.

On April 13, in Moscow , a rally in support of the freedom of the media, organized by a committee of protest actions, will be in Moscow on Sakharov Avenue. Initially, the organizers of the event intended to conduct a procession, but in the end they agreed to submit to the illegal requirements of the officials of the metropolitan city hall, who did not agree on the Marshal of Pravda route.
