So, according to TPS, “Yandex” does not show users from Russia media articles blocked by the federal service for supervision in the field of communications, information technology and mass media (roskomnadzor). In the search results of this system, only mass media and forum posts appear that broadcast the “correct” Putin view of the situation in Ukraine.

Instead, Google prioritizes links to independent media, the state, and opposition Russian and Ukrainian media for a similar request.

“So, even to a request that is not politically correct in terms of Kremlin narratives, the user may receive alternative answers that differ from the position of the Russian authorities. And in Yandex, the search for the best VPNs to bypass the blocking of Russian censorship is gaining momentum,” said the CPD.
