Additional information:

Roskomnadzor blocked the websites of Holod and Discourse magazines. According to the Holod Telegram channel, the agency demanded to block the website of the media on the basis of the law on discrediting the Russian army. The editorial office of Discourse writes that no warnings about the possible blocking have been received. «This is a blatant injustice and legally absurd. The editorial office did not receive any warnings, even though we were legally obliged to be notified, and no one knows the reasons for the lawless deprivation of information. We will challenge the unconstitutional decision in court», — Discourse said in a statement.
