Roskomnadzor blocked the website of the action "Half vs. Putin", which, shortly before his death in the colony, was supported by oppositionist Alexei Navalny. The Roskomvobod project drew attention to this, the mediazone also writes about the blocking.
The action was proposed by the former deputy of the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg, oppositionist Maxim Reznik, during the presidential election in Russia. The essence of the action is that people who opposed Vladimir Putin, who is running for presidency for the fifth time, in the absence of a candidate in the elections, who would act from a clearly opposition position, are proposed on March 17 on the election day to come to polling stations at the same time - at noon. Thus, according to the plan of the initiators of the action, opponents of Putin will show their mass and at the same time will not violate the current legislation. “Arriving at the sites, we will show others and see for ourselves that we can become a lot. We can become a force that you can’t hide behind the drawn interest,” the project’s website says.
Those who come to the sites are proposed either to vote against Putin for any of the three other candidates, or to spoil the ballot.
According to Mediazona, the St. Petersburg politician Sergei Gulyaev previously said that Roskomnadzor also demanded to remove a video about "midday against Putin." The notification from the hosting has come to him that the Prosecutor General’s Office demanded that the blocking demanded.
On what basis do the Russian authorities demand to block information about the action is unclear.

Earlier, his associates called on to vote in the elections for any candidate except Putin.
On February 16, the authorities reported the death of Navalny in the colony. The widow of the opposition and his associates are convinced that he was killed and accused of the death of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
