This is stated in the list of restrictions included in the sixth package of sanctions against Russia and Belarus published in the official journal of the EU. The "reasons" column states that "Roskomnadzor is the central instrument for exercising censorship and suppressing free media in Russia." Lipov, as the head of the department, "is responsible for the decisions that led to the censorship and closure of independent Russian media," the document says. Lipov was appointed head of Roskomnadzor in March 2020, replacing Alexander Zharov at this post. Prior to that, Lipov headed the presidential administration for the development of information and communication technologies and communications infrastructure, which, in particular, was responsible for developing bills on the "sovereign Internet" and on limiting the share of foreign participation in companies that own significant Russian sites. He also worked in the department of state policy in the field of informatization and information technology of the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications (now the Ministry of Digital Development), in particular, he was the deputy head of the development programs department, the head of the information technology department, and also the deputy director of the department. Roskomnadzor told RBC that the imposition of sanctions "will not affect Lipov and the department in any way." In the past two years, Roskomnadzor began to slow down the traffic of foreign social networks, in particular Twitter, blocked the largest platforms Instagram and Facebook (their owner, Meta, was recognized as extremist and banned in Russia), as well as the websites of a number of Russian media. Also, the implementation of the so-called landing law has begun, according to which foreign IT companies with a daily audience of more than 500 thousand users are required to open a branch, an authorized legal entity or a representative office in Russia. The department explained the blocking of both social networks and the media by the requirements of the Prosecutor General's Office and the current legislation. For example, the former head of Roskomnadzor, Alexander Zharov, spoke about restrictions on the dissemination of extremist information: "Roskomnadzor, at the request of the Prosecutor General's Office, is obliged to ensure the blocking of such resources and pages on social networks and take measures to remove illegal information.

Radio continues to occupy a worthy place in our rapidly changing world. Every month, about 87% of Russians over 12 years old turn to this media carrier, while 38% of the audience listen to radio online. In 2021, radio listening in Russia grew to its highest levels in the past five years, with an average listening time of almost 4 hours and 40 minutes per day. The advertising market showed high dynamics - Russian media used a record 578 billion rubles in 2021, which is 22% more than a year earlier. Advertising revenues of radio stations increased by 25%. Such data was presented by the President of the Russian Academy of Radio (RAR) Andrey Romanchenko at the conference "Local Radio: Innovations and Prospects". In the year of its 15th anniversary, the Academy of Radio brought together over 200 industry representatives from 20 regions of the country in Sochi.

"The indicated frequency resource allows us to solve several problems in railway transport. There are tasks of interval regulation, traffic control, unmanned traffic, remote control by video monitoring. The number of tasks is growing.

The corresponding measure will come into force on June 9 and will be valid until the end of the special operation in Ukraine and the return of Crimea to its composition. "NEPLP today decided to ban distribution in Latvia and remove from the list of programs rebroadcast in Latvia 80 TV channels registered in Russia, including TV "MIR" and "Arms" ... The programs will disappear from the information space of Latvia on June 9," wrote the head NEPLP Ivars Abolins on Twitter. He also noted that NEPLP decided to issue a broadcasting permit to the Dozhd TV channel (recognized in Russia as a foreign media agent), which will be Latvian from June 9. According to the LETA agency, E TV, Illusion+, Kino24, Mir TV, Hunting and Fishing, Pepper and Russian Illusion were among the channels to stop broadcasting. The department explained that they imposed a ban on television broadcasting thanks to a new form of law that provides for the shutdown of the media of those countries that "threaten the territorial integrity and independence." The decision does not say what exactly the threat is. Earlier in Latvia, they called on the European Union to impose sanctions against TV channels from the Russian Federation.

Video in Russian - 3:10 In Soviet times, powerful broadcasting radio centers were often built far from populated areas. Literally from scratch, a transmitting facility was erected and a new settlement appeared on the map with residents-workers of the radio center. With all infrastructure, social institutions. People lived here for years, labor dynasties appeared. I note that until 1988, a number of radio centers, in addition to broad- casting radio programs, were engaged in jamming "enemy" voices. That is, there was enough work. After the collapse of the USSR, in Russia the centers remained "afloat" due to the internal LW / MW / SW broad- casting of state radio stations and foreign broadcasting, as well as re- transmission of programs from various companies. In 2013 - 2015, there was a global reduction in analogue broadcasting in Russia. Mayak was the first to leave, then the Voice of Russia and, ulti- mately, Radio Russia. For FSUE RTRS (an organization in charge of radio centers), this has become a big problem. Transmitting facilities have been placed on conservation. The staff at many centers has been reduced to a minimum (security) Radio centers with an unclear future and, in fact, of no use, stand around the country in varying degrees of safety. Unfortunately, in the vast ter- ritories of the centers it is impossible to keep track of everything, and antenna systems, feeder lines die at the hands of marauders, bringing the transmitting objects into final disrepair. People hurt the most. When after conservation (in fact, the closure) of the radio center, the village is doomed to its historical decline. We leave for the Magadan Region. Olsky district.

Program host John Jurasek accepts music requests from radio listeners and includes them in the program.

Originally a Russian speaking listener in the United States had recorded a Station Identification in Russian but several months ago I heard from a kind listener (his name is Artem) in Russia who let me know there were some grammatical issues with the original ID, he explained that he works professionally as a translator and it would be his pleasure to rerecord the ID for my broadcast. That is how the Station Identification at the start of the program came to be!..."
