At the same time, in 2017, Roskomnadzor blocked the website of the Open Russia publication due to the status of “undesirable organizations” with Open Russia and Otkrytaya Rossia registered in the UK. The department also blocked their mirrors, after which the editorial office decided to create a new project “MBH Media”. Mikhail Khodorkovsky said that the site is not connected with the "open Russia" and "belongs to him personally."
