Yandex has a news block right in the middle of its front page. Only "approved" news sources could be shown there. For people not specifically searching for recent updates on a topic or particular media outlets it represents the news. As far as I remember they wanted to remove this block instead of completely instead of censoring, but they were not allowed to. I think it was described in one of the documentaries about Yandex, but my memories are vague now.
