Additional information:
Roskomnadzor blocked the website of the media outlet New Tab. The supervisory agency demanded to remove the material mentioning the Free Buryatia Foundation, which was recognised as an undesirable organisation. The editorial board refused to do so. New Tab was first blocked on August 1, 2022, two months after the media outlet was launched, for an interview with a politician from Tuva who demanded to stop the war against Ukraine. After this material was removed, Russian providers restored access to the website.
