The previous day it became known that the government excluded from the Federal Statistical Action Plan (FPSP) the publication of information on consumer prices for petroleum products. Journalists from The Bell suggested that Rosstat will no longer publish data on the dynamics of fuel prices.

Previously, the agency had already hidden many socially important information from published statistics, for example, data on inequality.
