Bellingcat and The Insider declared undesirable organizations in Russia

The Prosecutor General’s Office has declared the investigative media Bellingcat and The Insider undesirable organizations, which means, among other things, a complete ban on cooperation with them for Russian citizens.

The “undesirable organization” status, however, effectively prohibits their activities in Russia; it was applied relatively rarely to the media, the most striking example exactly a year ago was the publication “Proekt”.
