## Description

Самиздат is a block-protected aggregator app designed to help users access important investigative pieces from independent media outlets in Russia. In an environment where censorship is prevalent and information can be suppressed, this app compiles works from The Insider, The Project, Bellingcat, and other investigative journalism teams. Each publication operates independently within the app, ensuring a diverse array of content while resisting state-imposed restrictions.
