The Caucasian Knot publication's media license has been revoked.
The court's decision to revoke the license came into force after the publication lost its appeal. сообщает "Center for the Protection of Mass Media Rights".

In fact, as lawyers point out, the publication publishes news and analytical articles daily. But because the site is blocked in Russia, officials appear oblivious to them.
