Description

Vladimir Putin's illnesses, the crimes of the Russian army in Ukraine, criticism of the Kremlin - all these topics are taboo in Russia. Thousands of people follow Russians on the Internet every day, look for so-called "information tension points", and compile reports for security forces and authorities. These denunciations become the basis for recognizing people and organizations as "foreign agents", as well as for initiating cases of "fakes" and discrediting the armed forces. Journalists from "Important Stories" found out who works for the state censorship on the Internet, how the truth about the war is blocked and how much they are paid for it.
