Roskomnadzor will complete procedures to impose restrictions on Instagram access in Russia on Monday at 00:00.

"Since it will take time for active Instagram users to transfer their photo and video materials to other social networks and notify their contacts and subscribers, Roskomnadzor decided to complete the procedure for imposing restrictions on access to Instagram at 00:00 on March 14, providing users with an additional 48 hours of transition period" the agency said in a statement.

Earlier, Roskomnadzor said it was restricting access to the social network based on a request from the Prosecutor General's Office. According to the regulator, it spread information materials containing calls to commit violent acts against Russians, including military personnel.
