According to Top10VPN, many niche sites that were blocked in Russia contained the same text, who tried to inform readers about the war in Ukraine. Researcher Samuel Woodhams analyzed data on blocked resources published by the Prosecutor General's Office and found 300 sites with the same text.
Both the pet care site, the scary story blog, and the tattoo parlor site contained the same text. “Russia attacked Ukraine! We, Ukrainians, hope that you already know about this. For the sake of your children and the hope of the light at the end of this hell, please read our letter, “it said.
According to Woodhams, this text was often published on hard-to-reach pages of the resource. But despite this, he directly contradicts what Russian propaganda says.

At the same time, there are many of them, which means that some of them may escape the attention of Russian censorship.
According to the researcher, sites may be blocked for other reasons. For example, sports resources were blocked for posting interviews with footballers who spoke about the war in Ukraine and what they personally experienced.
