On 24 December 2022, Russian media regulator Roskomnadzor blocked access to TV Rain’s website in Russia. Russia’s most popular independent TV channel (known in Russian as “Dozhd”) created a new website after its previous version had been blocked by regulators. Roskomnadzor told RBC, a Russian news portal, that Dozhd TV’s new website was blocked due to alleged regular spreading of fake news related to the war in Ukraine.
