The case of revoking the @tvrain licence in Latvia is a crucial step to recognise the hybrid impact of Russian narratives in Europe. It would be also a test whether EU-partners take Latvia’s security concerns serious enough not to provide a platform for this kind of “journalism”

another good russian believes that the case when Dozhd violated Latvia’s law will help them win even wider audience and “for Latvia this story is, for sure, shameful”
