In Moscow, dozens of people came to the reception office of the presidential administration to file appeals against the blocking of instant messaging programs and the shutdown of mobile Internet service.
The Fajr Party announced the filing of collective appeals at the end of March. Politicians Boris Nadezhdin and Yulia Galyamina, among others, came to the reception of the President of the Russian Federation.
“It is necessary for society to understand that there are enough safe ways to express its position on blocking.” He said Sotavision Galliamina. Nadezhdin, in turn, told reporters that “the aim of the procedure is to submit a large number of appeals.” According to him, in addition to those who attended the reception, “many people submitted their applications electronically.”
According to a Sotavision reporter, people stood in line for an hour and a half to place orders. In total, according to event participants, about 200 people attended the president’s reception.

In Russia, at the end of March, they planned to take several measures against blocking the Internet, but all of them, under various pretexts, were not agreed upon by the authorities. Five applicants against the ban in Moscow, associated with the Anonymous Scarlet Swan movement (Meduza wrote about it in detail), were sent under administrative detention. On March 29, when protests were planned, police arrested twelve people in Moscow’s Bolotnaya Square.
