As the company explained, messages that do not relate to the situation on the road or contain obscenities are always moderated or deleted. “If there are too many of these messages, the time they are displayed on the map can be automatically reduced so as not to interfere with navigation,” the company representative added.

The Mediazona correspondent left a comment in Yandex.Navigator on Palace Square. It was immediately removed.

Online events were held in Rostov-on-Don , St. Petersburg , Moscow , Yekaterinburg , Krasnoyarsk and Nizhny Novgorod .

Local residents demand that the government resign, ask where they can get money from during the epidemic, oppose the “self-isolation regime” or, on the contrary, demand that a state of emergency be introduced.
