Information controls are known to occur during conflicts, and that’s exactly what we’re seeing in Russia following the recent invasion of Ukraine on 24th February 2022.

In recent days, [OONI network measurement data](https://explorer.ooni.org/search?since=2022-02-04&until=2022-03-07&failure=false&probe_cc=RU) collected from Russia shows that many Internet Service Providers (ISPs) have started [blocking](https://explorer.ooni.org/search?since=2022-02-04&until=2022-03-07&failure=false&probe_cc=RU&test_name=web_connectivity&only=anomalies) access to several news media websites, as well as to a [website](https://explorer.ooni.org/search?since=2022-02-04&until=2022-03-07&failure=false&probe_cc=RU&test_name=web_connectivity&only=anomalies&domain=200rf.com) (200rf.com) that shares information about captured and killed Russian soldiers in Ukraine. OONI data also shows that Russian ISPs started [throttling access to Twitter](https://explorer.ooni.org/search?since=2022-02-26&until=2022-03-04&failure=false&domain=twitter.com&probe_cc=RU) on 26th February 2022, and switched to [blocking](https://explorer.ooni.org/measurement/20220306T202033Z_webconnectivity_RU_51604_n1_oVoIGdnUmlxCWmyR?input=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2F) it by 4th March 2022 – at which point, they also started [blocking access to Facebook](https://explorer.ooni.org/search?since=2022-02-04&until=2022-03-07&failure=false&domain=www.facebook.com&probe_cc=RU&only=anomalies). Censorship in Russia is generally implemented in a [decentralized](https://www.ndss-symposium.org/ndss-paper/decentralized-control-a-case-study-of-russia/) way, as blocks are not observed on all networks, while ISPs adopt a variety of different censorship techniques.
