    The requested address is blacklisted

    Blacklisting Authorization Date    Blacklisting Authorization Number    Blacklisting Decision Maker    Blacklisting Date
    24.03.2014                         4138                                 Роспотребнадзор                   02.10.2014

Is there anything we can do about this?

Google Translate says the Decision Maker is CPS (Child Protective Services). So it's most likely just a mistake.

Роспотребнадзор actually translates to Consumer Protection Services.

ok thank you. I actually mostly know russian, but that word made no sense to me.

I know Bulgarian, which is similar. Роспотрепнадзор derives from Russia (Россия) Consumer (Потребител) Supervision (Надзор).

I think "decision maker" means they are acting on some sort of a complaint/request. Rospotrebnadzor ("Ros" - Russia, "Potreb" - Consumer or Consumption, "Nadzor" - Oversight) is simply the government org whose responsibilities include blacklisting. There is no way to tell from that website what led to this decision as far as I can tell.
