Russians wrote almost 145,000 denunciations in six months, most of them over “war fakes”
Roskomnadzor has reported 144,835 “complaints” written by individuals in the first half of 2022. Most of the denunciations were related to the war in Ukraine: Russians complained about “fakes” connected with the actions of the Russian military and about “pro-Ukrainian propaganda.” Roskomnadzor received the most denunciations in March, when the war had just begun, 10,323 complaints, a number four times higher year-on-year. In annual terms, the number of denunciations has increased by a quarter.
