PayPal blocked an invoice for collecting funds "Putin. War"

The PayPal payment system blocked the account, which the RPR-Parnas opened to raise funds for the publication of the Putin. War report, prepared by the deceased Boris Nemtsov and his opposition colleagues. This was reported by the "Business News Agency" with reference to the party functionar Ilya Yashin.

Yashin explained that the service administration sent a letter that stated that "restrictions on the account could not be withdrawn," since "today PayPal does not provide the opportunity to use its system for collecting donations for the activities of political parties and political goals in Russia." The screenshot of the letter later placed on his twitter oppositionist Vsevolod Chagaev.

Yashin added that the funds that have already received in the account will not be lost, but new revenues for him are now impossible.

RPR -Parnas opened funds for printing funds at once on two platforms - PayPal and Yandex.Money. Unlike the first of the systems, Yashin noted, everything is fine with Yandex.Money - they continue to cooperate.

The presentation of Putin. War was held on Tuesday . After that, the PDF file of the brochure was placed on the Open Russia website. Shortly after publishing a report to this site, a powerful DDOS attack began, which lasted several hours.

The circulation of "Putin. War" amounted to only 2 thousand copies. Yashin explained that such a number of brochures would be enough for distribution only at presentations that after Moscow it is also planned to be held in St. Petersburg, Yaroslavl, Chelyabinsk and other cities. Then he announced the beginning of the fundaments for the publication of the report by a mass circulation.

In May 2014, PayPal blocked the Rosuznik account . “Paypal called, explained that he was closing our wallet, because he does not want to have risks associated with our activities,” wrote social activists on Twitter.

At the time of freezing, there were only about $ 170 on the project account, since Rosuznik, knowing about the cases of blocking PayPal accounts, did not keep large funds on it. The payment system of the organization returned this money.
