Blocked evidently as meaning not available in Russia for viewing on the Internet.

"Barents Observer" as linked to the blog banned in Russia.

Too much anti-Russia coverage for the folks in Moscow. 

"The Barents Observer is requested closed by Russia's General Prosecutor"

"Blocked for the second time: According to the state attorney in Moscow, the Norwegian newspaper publishes 'false news about terrorism' and seeks to 'destabilize the political situation in Russia.'"

From thebarentsobserver.com the article by Atle Staalesen October 31, 2022.

"The small newspaper based in Kirkenes, Norway, is again on the agenda of Russian censorship authorities. It was blocked by media regulator Roskomnadzor already in early 2019. This week, it got double-blocked by the country’s General Prosecutor."

"The online newspaper that publishes in both English and Russian was notified about the decision on Saturday the 29th of October. In a letter, the General Prosecutor’s office gives the Barents Observer 24 hours to delete all 'illegal information.'”

THE WRATH OF THE RUSSIAN CANNOT BE IGNORED?

"Barents" twenty-four hours to get out of town or else!
