Additional information:

At the demand of Roskomnadzor, the editorial board removed from the website a publication about the real estate of Alina Kabayeva’s family based on the Open Media investigation. Roskomnadzor referred to the requirement of the Prosecutor General’s Office of August 3 to «restrict access to information resources containing information disseminated in violation of the law». Earlier, Open Media ceased to exist due to the recognition of its founder as an «undesirable» organisation.
