Tens of thousands of people in Russia can no longer support OVD-Info.
You still can.

Russian payment providers suddenly refused to continue working with us, without any explanation. We were stripped of our main way to receive donations in rubles.

This decision cut us off from tens of thousands of people in Russia — our core supporters, those who have stood with us in turbulent years. For us, this is a tremendous loss: we have always been a project whose donors and expenses are primarily located inside Russia. Losing these payment channels means losing the support of 12,000 people who were making regular contributions.

Most of our expenses are still in rubles — these donations allow us to pay lawyers and legal defense teams, travel to different parts of the country, run our free hotline, and stay with you, wherever you are.

We are not the first to face this: over the past two years, organizations such as “Need Help”, “Nasiliu.net”, “Civil Assistance”, “Takie Dela” and others have encountered similar problems — the reasons hardly need explanation. Some have been forced to shut down.
