Additional information:
At the demand of Roskomnadzor, the editorial board removed from its website 30 publications that quoted materials from the publication Proekt. Roskomnadzor referred to the demand of the Prosecutor General’s Office. Proekt is declared an «undesirable» organisation in Russia. TV Rain’s publications were based on Proekt’s investigations into Putin’s illegitimate daughter, his identical offices in two residences, Ramzan Kadyrov’s «second wife» and others. Other media outlets have also complied with similar demands of Roskomnadzor.
