"Today, a law firm representing the interests of Netflix users filed a class action lawsuit against the American Netflix service with the Khamovnichesky District Court of Moscow", RIA cited law firm Chernyshov, Lukoyanov & Partners as saying."The reason for the lawsuit was a violation of Russian users' rights due to Netflix's unilateral refusal to provide services in Russia.
