Internet service providers in Russia have begun blocking access to opposition politician Aleksei Navalny’s website following an order from the country’s communications regulator, according to news reports and social-media posts by Navalny and others.
The development came after regulator Roskomnadzor told Navalny — along with YouTube and Instagram — that they must delete or block access to a video and photos in an online report about an alleged meeting between billionaire Oleg Deripaska and Deputy Prime Minister Sergei Prikhodko, a longtime former senior adviser to President Vladimir Putin.
