Employees of the Ostankino Interdistrict Prosecutor's Office came to the editorial office of the Rain television channel. This was reported on her Facebook by the Channel Director Natalya Sindeeva.

From the photographs of the documents posted to her, it follows that the prosecutors will verify compliance with the legislation on counteracting extremism and terrorism, labor legislation, as well as licensing legislation. The notification also states that the audit is carried out "on the basis of appeals of citizens."

A little later, Sindeeva published another message in which she wrote that the Ministry of Emergencies also came to the company with a check.

The Rain TV channel has been broadcast since the spring of 2010. In the winter of 2014, after a scandal with a survey about the blockade of Leningrad, most of the cable and satellite operators excluded it from their packages . "Rain" lost more than 80 percent of its technical coverage and was forced to switch to a subscription model. According to TNS, the average monthly coverage of the TV channel in the third quarter of 2015 amounted to 1.2 million people (at the same period of 2014 - 4.5 million). The audience of the "rain" site in October amounted to 1.8 million people.
