      Is there any way to get it back online?

        @igor-320 Hello, we currently do not display radar for these locations.

          @korina is it a technical issue or a politically motivated decision? Do you plan to bring it back?

              @korina I don't know if it helps to somehow bring back the radar data, but this is the official page of russian weather agency (Hydrometcenter):

              https://meteoinfo.ru/en/nowcasting

              Even though it says 'forecast' (nowcasting is a fancy name for high resolution 2-hour forecast), I can attest you that the first available time in the slider is basically a snapshot of current (i.e., real-time) precipitation:

              It can be compared to radar input here:

              https://meteoinfo.ru/hmc-output/rmap/phenomena.gif (this GIF is regularly updates)

              AFAIK, doppler radar data for Russia isn't sourced at any public domain in digital format and the only way to obtain it is to contact them directly via email. They have been providing low-res data for free and high-res for a membership fee.
