This spring, one of the major hits of the 2010s, The Walking Dead, returned to Russian streaming services. Mediazona studied how the streaming service Amediateka, which distributes the franchise, handled the original series, its numerous spin-offs, and related documentary projects.

We found that more than two and a half hours of content had been censored across The Walking Dead universe, with cuts affecting scenes related to LGBT characters, abortion, BDSM, and the Black Lives Matter movement.
