Recently, there have been more and more posts about blocking YouTube in Russia. Yes, there were no official statements on this subject, but given the number of letters sent by Roskomnadzor to Google, I would not rule out such a scenario. At the same time, it is absolutely unclear to many users how to prepare for the fact that Youtube will be blockedwhat needs to be done and how will it affect the Russian user? In today’s article, we offer 2 ways to save content from a foreign site and tell what content authors should do so as not to lose their materials.

Will YouTube be blocked in Russia
The first rumors about blocking YouTube in Russia appeared almost a month ago. Since then, with a frequency of once a week (or even more often), reports have appeared in various sources that the YouTube leadership closes access to Russian media channels. Now, it seems, things have become much more serious. Just a couple of days ago, Google blocked the Duma TV channel, which broadcast meetings of the State Duma of the Russian Federation.
After that, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, commented on the situation with the blocking of the YouTube channel of the State Duma in your Telegram account:
In addition, the Ministry of Education reported about the need to transfer video content from YouTube to the Russian platforms VK.Video and Rutube for Russian universities. Later, the ministry commented on the situation and stated that the letter was purely advisory in nature.
Add to that already existing restrictions. I think everyone knows that YouTube has completely disabled monetization for Russian bloggers. This means that the authors of the channels will temporarily stop receiving income in Russia.
It is clear that after that the number of produced commercials has greatly decreased. If earlier I went to watch videos on YouTube a couple of times a day, now I come here a couple of times a week.
How to Download YouTube Video
At the moment there is no data on YouTube blocking in Russia no. However, it is absolutely not excluded that this will happen in the near future. It is not yet known whether the fate of other blocked resources awaits YouTube or the blocking scheme will be different, but one thing is clear for sure – if you wanted to download a video from YouTube, it is better to do it right now.
There are a lot of applications for downloading videos from YouTube, but we have been using them in the editorial office for a long time 4K Video Downloader. The program captivates with a pleasant, but simple interface and the ability to download videos not only from YouTube, but also from other popular sites. Earlier we talked about it in detail in a separate article, now we’ll just go over the tops.
To download video from youtubeYou need:
- Go to official website of the developer and download the application to your computer.
- Run the installation file and download the program to your PC.
- Read the agreement, click on the Accept button.
- Then go to YouTube, find the video you need.
- Click on the Share button under the video, then Copy.
- Then go to the application and click on the Insert Link button.
- Specify the quality and format of the video, select subtitles, if necessary.
- Click the Download button at the bottom of the program.
- Wait for the video to download to your computer.
The application is extremely convenient and offers a fairly wide functionality. I was especially pleased that opposite the indication of the quality of the video, the file size is immediately visible. Plus, the service allows you to extract the audio file from the video. For those who used to watched YouTube in the backgroundthis format should fit perfectly.
In the free version of the program, you can download 30 videos per day. There are also restrictions on downloading videos from playlists and channels. The full version of the application can be purchased on the official site. It seems to me that for ordinary users, such a program is ideal.
