Major malfunctions in the operation of the social network VKontakte<\/span><\/span> and the service Yandex Telemost<\/span><\/span> were recorded on March 17, a few days after the introduction in Moscow of the so-called “white lists” of websites.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to the platform Downdetector<\/span><\/span>, users filed over 1194 complaints about the operation of VKontakte in a single day, with a peak around 18:00 (Moscow time). Most complaints came from the Altai region.<\/p>\n

On the platform Sboy.rf<\/span><\/span> over 1751 complaints were recorded regarding the operation of Yandex Telemost, especially from Moscow, Saint Petersburg and the Moscow region.<\/p>\n

Previously, on March 13, after a week of mobile internet disruptions in Moscow, “white lists” were introduced – that is, a limited set of websites that remain accessible to users. These include the portal Gosuslugi<\/span><\/span>, state institution websites, services of the company Yandex<\/span><\/span>, VK social networks, as well as some marketplaces, banks and media institutions close to the Kremlin.<\/p>\n

Mobile internet disruptions began in Moscow on the evening of March 5. In this context, according to Wildberries<\/span><\/span>, pager sales in the capital increased by 73%, radio station sales by 27%, and landline phone sales by 25%. The bookstore network Chitai-Gorod<\/span><\/span> reported an increase of about 50% in the sales of atlases and guides.<\/p>\n

The service Yandex Taxi<\/span><\/span> began to accept phone orders, and courier companies reported a decrease in the number of deliveries.<\/p>\n

According to sources cited by the publication Kommersant<\/span><\/span>, the economic losses caused by these disruptions in Moscow amount to about 1 billion rubles per day (about 11 million euros).<\/p>\n
