Undermining the authority of bribe takers
Internet provider Rostelecom, by court order, blocked the websites of Gazeta.Ru and Komsomolskaya Pravda in Ulyanovsk. The Leninsky District Court, based on a request from the prosecutor’s office, decided back in May that the publications, with their materials, undermine the authority of government and promote bribery. Meanwhile, as Ekho Moskvy notes, residents of Ulyanovsk who use the services of other Internet providers can visit these sites.
