Additional information:

The General Prosecutor’s Office decided to block the website Novosti 26, which tells teenagers about politics, including the war in Ukraine. The Roskonmadzor demanded «to remove information disseminated in violation of the law immediately», without specifying what kind of materials were in question. The editorial office refused to comply with this demand. Website builder Tilda also sent the editors a blocking notice. The website is inaccessible, but the editorial board continues to work on social networks. Novosti 26 was founded by writer Linor Goralik.
