\u041cBK-Media<\/a> is a network socio-political information outlet created by Mikhail Khodorkovsky<\/span>. It was founded after the blocking of the Open Russia website by Roskomnadzor in 2017. Over the short period since its establishment (2017), MBK-Media has become one of the most influential independent information resources with a developed reporters network in the regions of Russia and abroad. In 2019, it was among the ten most-cited Internet websites<\/a>.<\/span> It was repeatedly nominated and received numerous journalistic awards.<\/span><\/p>\n

The website is currently blocked in the territory of Russia and is available only on the mirror<\/a> or through VPN services.<\/span><\/p>\n

MBK-Media is one of the projects of Open Russia organization, founded by Khodorkovsky back in the days of Yukos, in the early 2000s. In 2017, the Prosecutor-General\u2019s Office of the Russian Federation entered three foreign legal entities – Otkrytaya Rossia and Open Russia Civic Movement (both from the UK) and the Institute of Modern Russia, Inc. (USA), headed by Khodorkovsky\u2019s son Pavel, into the register of \u201cundesirable organizations.\u201d For some reason, this gave the Russian special services a reason to persecute the Russian movement \u201cOpen Russia,\u201d although formally it has nothing to do with them, does not have a legal entity, and most importantly, it cannot be an \u201cundesirable organization\u201d (according to the law, these can only be foreign NPO).<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

With regard to the conflict region, MBK-Media takes a balanced position, actively criticizes the Russian authorities, and gives the floor to the opposition and pro-Ukrainian authors.<\/span><\/p>\n
