Paperpaper.ru — is independent media from Saint-Petersburg, Russia. We’ve been reporting on the Russian-Ukrainian war since the day it started. As a result, our website was blocked by the Russian government.
For ten years we’ve been writing about the local community, business and initiatives. Yet, our main goal was always to improve life in the city we love.
15 years
Journalists can face up to 15 years in prison for writing and spreading truthful information about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine
1500 websites

4978 protocols

We lost all sponsored content — our main source of income. Russian companies are afraid to do business with us. Our journalists can be arrested and prosecuted because they disobey the new military censorship and choose to tell the truth.
We need money to save our journalists from repressions, remain independent and keep on writing inspiring and powerful stories, so the citizens of Saint-Petersburg have hope for the future and the energy to fight back.
