Additional information:

On May 17, Sberbank blocked Lev Gyammer’s account in the Sberbank app due to «breach of contract». Which terms of the agreement Gyammer violated are not specified. The editor-in-chief of Skat media used his account as one of the legal means to collect donations for the media. On May 24, Sber’s helpdesk responded to Gyammer’s tweets about the blocking and said that «it is impossible to unblock the card and Sberbank Online account». In the autumn of 2021, Gyammer left Russia for fear of prosecution in the extremist community case.
