Meduza needs help

Journal by quietus

Meduza.io is a Russian/English news website. It has now been blocked by Russia's Roskomnadzor (Federal Service for Supervision in the Sphere of Telecom, Information Technologies, and Mass Communications) inside Russia. Roskomnadzor is the same agency that has it declared unlawful to call the Russian invasion in Ukraine either an invasion or a war.

They're not the only ones suffering this fate: here is a list of Russia's independent press outlets that have been blocked in recent days.

Being based in Latvia, Meduza thinks it can circumvent the blockade. However, ninety percent of the donations that keep the site alive came from within Russia. That stream of funds is now blocked, and they request help from international donors.

That's about all I wanted to say, or ask, in this journal entry. If considering a donation (or not), you might want to read the following articles first: Why no mass protests in Russia? and Putin's last stand: how to lose a war by simply starting one.

    Aristarchus is a drawer full of socks in search of a final solution.
