“The Prosecutor General’s Office has the authority to block almost any site. But blocking online grocery stores is something new. This is absurd. Then, for the Russians, it is necessary to block foreign sites, where they can order a small package with a head of cheese. ”
Previously, sites with illegal content or with materials promoting extremism, drug addiction, pedophilia and other destructive phenomena were blocked.
On August 6, 2014, the President of the Russian Federation signed a
decree banning the import of certain goods in response to sanctions against Russia. Beef, pork, fruit, poultry, cheese and dairy products, nuts and some other products are on the list of prohibited foods.
