Dear Team Deezer!
I can fully understand your anger with the situ, but cancelling Russian users you are sending a wrong message to the wrong people. The Deezer subscribers here are progressive part of the society and by alienating them you achieve nothing, and actually the opposite - turning them to the Dark Side. These times are hard enough for us, believe me.
Please try to pass on this concept to your policymakers and looking forward hearing more fine sounds from your team.
Peace to Ukraine! Peace to All!

Мне нравился ваш сервис до сегодняшнего вашего решения.Я сам отказываюсь от вас. Не уведомляйте меня об открытии вашего сервиса. Жаль, но вы навсегда потеряли Россию как рынок поддавшись истерии и не разобравшись в ситуации. Предавшие один раз, предадут и в будущем, у нас такие законы. Не могу пожелать вам удачи.
Isn't Deezer afraid to lose those users to Amazon Music, Spotify or any other music streaming service? The question remains if those users will return when Deezer is available again in Russia?
This is a controversial decision, but you have the right to it.
At least, give us the ability to save/backup OUR collected data! Favorite artists, albums, tracks, listen history and playlists in common formats like csv/excel.

Oh yeah…Until Russians won’t be punished in every single aspect of their lives, they definitely won’t understand that invading to sovereign state is bad thing.
В яндекс музыке есть экспорт из акка дизера, я переезжаю туда.
Яндекс,как и Сбер,и Эпл никак не сравнится с Дизер по качеству звука и подборкам!

As a user from Russia, I want to say that Deezer users here are terribly few, but they all understand the benefits of your service - believe me, there are subscriptions with much better conditions in Russia, users from Russia are with you not because of this.
Being a minority, we can be smart enough to use your service through workarounds. You won't win if we can get full access to the media library semi-legally, through accounts in other countries, or bypass your protection natively by talented modders. And we will be able to.
Believe me, the minority I'm talking about are not happy about government action. Trying to play politics (which is exactly what you're doing - for example, Spotify said that destroying its service in Russia would only make it worse for real people) will only make it worse for the service or its reputation. I hope you'll hear these words and don't completely deactivate accounts and break access from Russia - it's the only way we can stay with Deezer without hurting your service.
Which is by the way a complete load of @#$t, because currently there are no specific sanctions prohibiting EU company to stream to Russian users or accept payment from users in Russia. When Deezer made a voluntary decision to stop servicing a country for political reasons, at least have courage not to pretend it’s due to “sanctions”.
I don’t think you understand the nature of the sanctions. Under the current sanctions Deezer and other European companies can’t receive payments from most Russian banks since they’ve been removed from the SWIFT network. Even though they have your credit card number they won’t get paid by your bank since there’s no longer a transfer mechanism in place for this to happen.

Sorry but I don’t think you understand how SWIFT works. It is not even used when a payment goes via card acquiring system, like Visa or Mastercard. Shutting a bank out of SWIFT in no way hinders Visa/Mastercard payment.

Hi
If you have any further questions please let us know 
You don't understand us. You are talking about money, and we are talking about relationships. Sooner or later this situation will be resolved, and you have a chance to "save face" by staying out of the events or to close the door forever by supporting the hysteria
Today I received an email about Deezer closing all Russian accounts
why…….
Please, I wasn't even born when Putin became a president. I couldn't possibly change the situation and I never supported him. I mean, I turned 18 only a few months ago and couldn't join any demonstrations till that day cause I didn't want any consequences for my parents and cause it's genuinely dangerous to present an opposite opinion in a totalitarian state we're "lucky" to exist.
I used Deezer for 3 years or so, you were my favorite streaming service and I never thought music could be involved in such geopolitical confrontation.
One of the accounts I truly admired was your Ukraine redactor, Sergii. I've discovered a lot of good albums thanks to him.
Things could be worse than losing a streaming service access, I know. But please stop that generalization of Russian society. Even if the reasonable people are a minority in Russia, that doesn't mean we all can just emigrate.
At least I wish you could provide some complicated way to keep my account, changing the location via VPN or smth, I don't know.…
it's like, my mentality is half made up of music, at least
and my whole listening life, all my 900+ saved albums and 100+ playlists - its all there
I even communicate with some people through Deezer - with my close friends and my ex girlfriend - by sending songs or sharing playlists
This is embarrassing... People are not guilty what is happening...
Similarly with any other foreign services or goods, the (few) people who are actively supporting Russian invasion into Ukraine are barely ever costumers of them. The paradox is that the most people who do use of such services are against the war, but these are the ones getting hit by sanctions. Sad, but it’s not for Deezer to decide though.
Spotify, by comparison, has exactly the same payment problems as everyone else these days - but doesn't completely exit the market and close access to free accounts. Time to observe and draw conclusions - which of the services really takes steps towards its audience, without dividing people into good and bad, and who turns on the artificial intelligence mode, without any hint of empathy
Уважаемый deezer, вы предали своих подписчиков по политическим соображениям, хотя музыка далека от политики, доверие к ВАм как к компании которая дорожит своими пользователями полностью утрачено!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just logged in successfully. Looks like they fixed it.

Deezer has discontinued their service to Russia until further notice. According to a post earlier by Deezer, free users will lose access, and paid users will lose access after their next billing date.

We are discontinuing our service in Russia because we can no longer operate in this territory under the current legal conditions and economic sanctions.
Unfortunately as we run our service in a similar manner in Belarus, we have to stop operating there too.
You will still be able to enjoy Deezer benefits until the end of your current subscription period (already billed).
Until the end of your subscription, you will still be able to listen to Deezer ad-free, download music, all in high fidelity. However, your subscription will not be renewed when it comes to an end, and you will not be charged by Deezer anymore.
If you are on a monthly plan, your access to Deezer will end within a month.
We don't know yet when we will operate again in Russia and Belarus, but we will keep our users informed.

EDIT: As I found myself today losing my favourite music in my home AV, my car and for my teenage daughter and elderly father too, I was testing other solutions. So far the best alternative solution I’ve found is SberMusic - FLAC streaming, decent quality, very decent tracks selection (I listen to classic rock, jazz and classical music - so far no loss and even some gains vs. Deezer). Also significantly cheaper, especially if you take a promo yearly package from the bank - 1390 RUR per year currently.
Deezer and other European companies can’t receive payments from most Russian banks since they’ve been removed from the SWIFT network.
Information about swift is not correct. Swift payments are blocked for 7 banks. The remaining 328 banks are not blocked. Spotify accepts payments, Deezer complains about swift instead of making money. Deezer, you just shot yourself in the knee.
Thank you Deezer (*sarcasm) for cancelling all Russian accounts on political reasons.
You’re already replaced - there are other streaming services out there...
Good afternoon.
Unfortunately I learned about your decision.
You made this decision.
I did not start what is happening in the world now, but I paid you My money, and you provided me with the musical material that I like.
Now you will not receive these funds (and, accordingly, music performers).
Well, I will look for how to find this musical material on the Internet. And most likely I will find it on other resources.
When you reappear with a proposal for cooperation, it is not certain that I will choose you.
Thank you for being with me.
I’m against military operations, different invasions and wars. I can’t be responsible for government decisions. Nobody is blaming citizens of other countries for their conflicts all over the world even if they have democracy and people have more influence for their leaders. I didn’t break the law or something like this. The only reason is wrong place of birth. How can we call it? Discrimination. It’s very nice, Deezer.
Let’s block them access to musicXDDDD
