And I cannot send donations from Russia to Meduza.io - Lativan based Russian speaking media targeted at Russia mostly. And other Russian people connot do this too.
Since Meduza was declared a "foreign agent" by Russian authorities (there's such a heavily burdening law here), they lost most advertisement and changed their model to donations.
I'm afraid they wouldn't survive this.
And government-owned media will continue to receive their subsidies from a country budget.
I feel like some things done these days are inflicting more collateral damage than supposed effect.
- markvdb 5y agoYou bump into problems donating to Meduza.io from Russia. Same for others. Is there any way I can help?
- EnOstac6 5y agoI don't know. Really. I just wanted to add another view on some sanctions effects from inside the country that attacked their neighbour (I still have a problem beleiving this).
- markvdb 5y agoAre you aware that Meduza accepts quite a few cryptocurrencies too? I just found out when preparing to make a small donation myself...
- chris123 5y agoThis is what the Fiat system do: war, censorship, cancellation, did, education, more destruction and collateral damage. A great book on the topic is called The Fiat Standard, highly recommended.

- dukoid 5y agoThey seem to accept a lot of forms of payments: https://support.meduza.io/en https://support.meduza.io/en All of them don't work for you? BTW: Putin seems to be able to defend the Ruble for now at the 1 cent mark. This seems quite hight to me and I'd be concerned for how long they can hold this if I'd be holding RUB...
- dukoid 5y agoP.S. I do not want to be cynical. I understand that this will be a very hard time for people living in Russia -- just at the moment it seems much worse for people living in Ukraine, and there seem to be few non-violent options to stop this apart from sanctions. Meduzza looks like a legitimate site and I have donated EUR 100 to them on your behalf. P.P.S: Please note that the payment setting on the site defaults to monthly.
- EnOstac6 5y agoThank you. It wasn't my intent to compare incomparable hardness of time in Russia and Ukraine. I didn't aim to campaign for Meduza support either. (Anyways thank you). I wanted to show that blocking communication channels may do more harm than anticipated.
