About the Work

We joined forces with The True Story, a news aggregator founded by Lev Gershenzon, former news director of Russia's largest search engine Yandex to create Undo the Firewall which aims to counter internet censorship.
Currently, Russians can still freely visit foreign websites for gaming, information, e-commerce, etc. This allows website owners globally to actively contribute to the fight against censorship and misinformation. The process is simple—a website owner can copy and paste a small code snippet onto their sites, available at undothefirewall.com. When a visitor with Russian language settings accesses the site, a pop-up displaying uncensored news stories automatically appears, providing unfiltered perspectives on current events. With the True Story, we wanted to provide a straightforward solution, empowering website owners worldwide to host uncensored news stories and deliver the real stories.
