After 2014, the independent Moscow-based TV channel was only able to operate online and relied on subscriptions for funding. In early March 2022 it was blocked by the Russian authorities. Dozhd discontinued its operations and many of its employees left the country. In July 2022, the old team in Riga went back on air with a Youtube programme, using a Latvian licence under the name TV Rain (3.7 million subscribers, November 2022). In December 2022, the Latvian media regulator revoked Dozhd's broadcasting licence because a map showing Crimea as part of Russia had been featured on one of its programmes and one of its presenters had referred to the Russian armed forces as "our army".
