In particular, access has been restricted or the channels of Russian artists and propagandists have been completely deleted, including Oleg Gazmanov, Nikolai Baskov, Lolita, Dima Bilan, Basta, Mikhail Boyarsky, Shaman, Denis Maidanov and others.
We remind you
Russia is spreading AI-generated videos in which the characters from "Masha and the Bear" and "Fixiki" kill caricatured Ukrainians. The CCD called for Russian content to be blocked.
Also, in September, Ukraine blocked 31 YouTube channels belonging to Russian artists, propagandists and sanctioned companies. The decision concerns Filipp Kirkorov, Grigory Leps, Sergey Lazarev, Valeriya, Larisa Dolina, Irina Allegrova and the band "Pelageya," Denis Maidanov, Yulia Chicherina, Anna Netrebko and Vasily Gerello.
