OVD-Info is one of Russia’s most prominent human rights organizations, having helped tens if not hundreds of thousands of Russians navigate repression and violence at the hands of law enforcement. Since December 2011, the group has supported people facing political persecution and documented repression throughout the country. On June 4, Rosfinmonitoring — Russia’s financial monitoring agency — added OVD-Info to a list of “extremist” organizations, along with dozens of other groups tied to Memorial, which appeared on the same list in April. Meduza spoke with OVD-Info director Alexander Polivanov about what his team plans to do next.
The Kremlin-backed Max messenger disappeared from the App Store on June 3. iPhone and iPad users lost the ability to download the app, and those who had already installed it stopped receiving notifications and updates. According to the head of Russia’s Digital Development Ministry, Maksut Shadayev, the restrictions affected more than 20 million Russians — at least a quarter of Max’s total user base. Apple has not commented on the reasons for the removal. Yulia Navalnaya had previously called on the American company to take this step. The removal also follows that of another messenger suspected of spying on users — Telega — which was pulled from the App Store not long ago.
