The Storytel international audiobook service is still available in Russia, according to the telegram. People who already had an account can renew their subscription, with no mention of a new launch for Russians.
For the subscription to work, you’ll need to change the payment method from the AppStore or Play Market. In order for this to happen, you’ll need to go into your settings and switch it to withdraw money from your mobile phone account.
Ahead of this announcement, the service had been experiencing some serious missteps in Russia. This referred to the production and acquisition of new content.
U.S. streaming platform Netflix announced this week a temporary suspension of operations in Russia.
