Internet marketer Alexander Zobov will launch a Russian analog of Instagram social network called Rossgram in March, the official page of the project in VKontakte.

It is noted that the application will be launched on 28 March on Android and iOS. Initially, it will only be available to the leading bloggers and partners of the project, including sponsors and investors. All other users will have access in April.

Rossgram will introduce additional tools to monetize content, among which will be paid access to publications, a fundraising function, as well as a referral program. In addition, the social network is working on a feature to transfer data from Instagram.

On Monday, Roskomnadzor officially added Instagram to the list of banned sites.
