The administration of the popular VKontakte social network blocked the page of Anna Cherepanova, a deputy of the City Duma of Novgorod and Chair of the Novgorod branch of the Yabloko party, at the request of the Public Prosecutor General’s Office.
“The authorities are struggling against the fighters for peace in all possible and impossible ways and means. As far as I understand, the blocking is connected with the publication of a fragment of the Ufa concert [with calls for peace] by musican Yuri Shevchuk,” Anna Cherepanova commented.
Anna Cherepanova will send requests to the Public Prosecutor’s Office and the VKontakte administration to unblock her personal account.
Earlier, at the request of the Public Prosecutor General’s Office, the pages of Emilia Slabunova, MP of the Legislative Assembly of Karelia, a member of the Yabloko Federal Political Committee and former Chair of the Yabloko party, and Lev Shlosberg, a member of the Yabloko Federal Political Committee, were blocked on the VKontakte social network.
