And I cannot send donations from Russia to Meduza.io - Lativan based Russian speaking media targeted at Russia mostly. And other Russian people connot do this too.

Since Meduza was declared a "foreign agent" by Russian authorities (there's such a heavily burdening law here), they lost most advertisement and changed their model to donations.

I'm afraid they wouldn't survive this.

And government-owned media will continue to receive their subsidies from a country budget.

I feel like some things done these days are inflicting more collateral damage than supposed effect.

You bump into problems donating to Meduza.io from Russia. Same for others.

Is there any way I can help?

[EnOstac6]

I don't know. Really.

I just wanted to add another view on some sanctions effects from inside the country that attacked their neighbour (I still have a problem beleiving this).

[markvdb]

Are you aware that Meduza accepts quite a few cryptocurrencies too? I just found out when preparing to make a small donation myself...

They seem to accept a lot of forms of payments: https://support.meduza.io/en

All of them don't work for you?

BTW: Putin seems to be able to defend the Ruble for now at the 1 cent mark. This seems quite hight to me and I'd be concerned for how long they can hold this if I'd be holding RUB...

P.S. I do not want to be cynical. I understand that this will be a very hard time for people living in Russia -- just at the moment it seems much worse for people living in Ukraine, and there seem to be few non-violent options to stop this apart from sanctions. Meduzza looks like a legitimate site and I have donated EUR 100 to them on your behalf.

P.P.S: Please note that the payment setting on the site defaults to monthly.

Thank you.

It wasn't my intent to compare incomparable hardness of time in Russia and Ukraine.

I didn't aim to campaign for Meduza support either. (Anyways thank you).

I wanted to show that blocking communication channels may do more harm than anticipated.

This is what the Fiat system do: war, censorship, cancellation, did, education, more destruction and collateral damage. A great book on the topic is called The Fiat Standard, highly recommended.
