According to glavcom.ua: A protest against the ban of the gaming platform Roblox took place in Tomsk, Russia, with several dozen people participating. The police have already detained one protester to check for military conscription papers. Residents are advocating for the return of Roblox and against the blocking of the platform.

The demonstration was supposed to take place in the city center, but due to authorities' ban, people gathered on the outskirts. Local media reported this. Other protest participants were clearing paths of snow during the police checks, which remain in the park to maintain control. The action was announced by a local public figure who wanted to encourage citizens to express their views.

Ivan Chuvilyaev, a representative of the Russian anti-war movement 'Get Lost', emphasized that there are no conditions for a genuine political protest in the country that could influence the authorities, despite the actions of dissent.
