Roskomnadzor demanded that Kholod remove an article about a woman in labor from a Mariupol maternity hospital

Roskomnadzor threatened to block the Kholod magazine because of the article “Don’t give birth during curfew” about Marianna Vyshemirskaya, a girl who was in the Mariupol maternity hospital during the shelling in early March. The publication itself reports this.

The agency demanded that the note be removed because it believes that the text contains false information about the “special operation” on the territory of Ukraine.

On April 4, RKN demanded that Kholod remove the article “Russia started a war with Ukraine. What you need to know" under threat of blocking. The editors complied with the requirement.

• In Russia, with the beginning of the war with Ukraine, websites and groups of independent media, activist projects and other resources began to be massively blocked. Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, Roskomnadzor has banned access to the websites of Mediazona, Meduza, Dozhd, Echo of Moscow, The Village, 7x7, TJ, Taigi.info, Papers and many others . In total, according to the Roskomsvoboda project as of April 1, more than 1,500 sites have been censored since the beginning of the war.
