It has become known that at the end of April 2025, access to the mirror site of the independent Belarusian publication Nasha Niva was blocked in Russia and Belarus. In addition, the editorial team reported that Amazon — the platform hosting the mirror site of Nasha Niva — received a complaint from Roskomnadzor containing demands to remove content from the independent media outlet. As a result, the publication was forced to move its website to a new mirror.
