Thanks for the recommendations! Of the two, OVD-Info looks particularly promising. While Meduza seems partially redundant (correct me if I’m wrong), because all the information is already available from other sources, OVD-Info really seems to make anti-regime actions easier.
For the majority of my Russian friends, Meduza is the main news source. It’s more than a news aggregator. They release a lot of exclusive content, podcasts, interviews, newsletter, and FAQs on the most important topics. They also do fact-checking and have inside sources within the government.
In recent days most of the independent media operated from Russia were blocked (e.g., TV Rain channel, Echo of Moscow radio station). There are almost no “other sources” left. And most important, the Russian government can’t threaten the editors, because Meduza is based in Riga, Latvia. Even if it gets blocked in Russia, it will be still accessible through their app or VPNs.
They have an English edition too, here’re some examples of their recent journalism that I recommend:

Why no mass protests in Russia?
‘I’m panicking — where is my child?’
Traumatized by the news
OK, I underestimated them. Thanks for clarifying!
What they do is certainly impressive.
