Among the censored documents released by Anonymous, some of which are dated as late as March 5, are ones that show Moscow censored anything that referred to the war as a Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Roskomnadzor blocked Russian use of Facebook after it flagged Russian articles as factually inaccurate. They are also threatening to block Russian Wikipedia for including an article on the Russian invasion.

A few days ago, Anonymous hacked several Russian broadcasts, interrupting their content and leaving messages saying that normal Russians don't support the war.

Anonymous has been waging a cyberwar against Russia since February 24 when the invasion began. The group has taken credit for hacking multiple Russian government websites. They also opened a website where users could send emails to random Russians whose email addresses were stored in the database, and they encouraged users to "spread the truth about war in Ukraine."

On Wednesday, Anonymous denied a report that its website was hacked by pro-Russian hackers.

Anything interesting in the documents? besides the obvious censorship that we all know about.
