Russia blocked a prison terms vocabulary by Russia Behind Bars.

The list of banned resources is maintained by RoskomSvoboda.

The court banned the Prison Glossary page on the Prison Counselor website. The page featured a short list of explained terms used by prisoners. As RoskomSvoboda experts point out, the vocabulary does not contain propaganda of prison romance or A.U.E. – it is merely a guide explaining the language used among prisoners.
Last year, the Urupsky District Prosecutor filed a lawsuit. The case was heard under the fast-track procedure. The court ruled to block the website on 21 March 2022, but it hasn’t published the text of the decision on its website as of today.
