Sputnik is a Russian state-funded news agency which has regional editorial offices in various cities outside of Russia. It serves as a counterweight against Western bourgeois media which tend to spread pro-imperialist narratives and has thus received heavy criticism and even censorship.
Various Sputnik accounts have been censored on Telegram, a Russia-based chat app used for disseminating news. This has been speculated to be the result of EU-US regulator demands.[1]
