Thus, access to applications in the Google market is open, but it is impossible to download this or that application.

“The application could not be loaded due to error (403),” this notification appears after attempting to install any application, both paid and free.

Apple similarly blocked Crimeans from downloading applications from its App Store.

However, it is easy to bypass the blocking by installing a program like ZenMate in your browser - it “deceives” Google by indicating Germany instead of Crimea as the location of the computer.
