This should probably be a reason for Google management to pay attention and correct the situation. This is the best the company can do.” – he noted, quoted by TASS.

Among the victims of the Google case are the television channels Zvezda, Channel One, VGTRK (TV channels Russia 1, Russia 24, etc.), Parliamentary Television, Moscow Media, TV Center, NTV, “GPM Entertainment Television”, “ Public Television. of Russia”, “TV Channel 360”, “TRK Petersburg”, “Orthodox Television Foundation”, “National Sports Channel”, “Technological Company Center”, as well as IP Simonyan MS, representing the TV presenter’s YouTube channel.
