Russia’s censorship agency Roskomnadzor has blocked access to the website of Echo, a new project launched by the team of the Echo of Moscow radio station.
“We will do everything we can to stay with you,” the Echo team noted, adding links to the project’s apps for smartphones.
Maxim Kurnikov, the project’s leader, announced the launch of Echo a week ago. The new media outlet will be home to all the content the station’s ex-presenters are creating, he said.
Echo of Moscow, founded in 1990, used to be a 24/7 commercial Russian radio station based in Moscow. The station was taken off air on 1 March by Roskomnadzor as a result of its coverage of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
