This graphic shows which websites remain accessible in Russia and which are blocked. The BBC, Facebook, Line[.]me, LinkedIn, and Twitter are not accessible in Russia at this time. Still, a range of websites remains accessible including YouTube and Reddit. Russians can also still access Archive[.]is and the Wayback Internet Archive, meaning they may be able to access archived versions of blocked content.

In addition to the websites listed in the graphic, Russia started [blocking](https://ooni.org/post/2021-russia-blocks-tor/) access to the [Tor](https://www.torproject.org/) anonymity network in December 2021. See “[Tor blocked in Russia: how to circumvent censorship](https://forum.torproject.net/t/tor-blocked-in-russia-how-to-circumvent-censorship/982)” for instructions on circumventing blocks.
