The Yandex.Music platform has removed the Kavachay podcast, which tells about the war between Ukraine and Russia. This was reported on the website of the Kholod publication, which is producing the project.
Access to the podcast was limited at the request of Roskomnadzor on the basis of Article 15.3 of the Federal Law «On Information» — as Kholod emphasizes, this article refers to the need blocking content that, among other things, “discredits” the Russian army.
In the Kavachai project, Ukrainian journalist Anna Filimonova and Kholod podcast editor Alexei Ponomarev discuss news from the war in Ukraine. The first issue of the podcast was published on March 3, 2022, in addition to Yandex.Music, the project is distributed on Spotify, Apple and Google Podcasts platforms.
In March 2023, at the request of Roskomnadzor, Yandex.Music removed the Meduza podcast called Deadline, which tells about the work of Russian media during the war.
