Russia: Strongest repression since the Soviet Union? | DW News
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 тра 2024
- Russia's crackdown on opponents of the war in Ukraine has been well documented. But lately, the Kremlin has stepped up its efforts to stifle criticism, leading to what some are calling the widest campaign of repression since the Soviet Union. Recent targets have included people like Olesya Krivtsova, a university student who was put under house arrest for anti-war posts on social media.

There are a lot of people in Canada who hate Trudeau but they don't go to prison for expressing their views. I simply don't understand how people can support a system that punishes people for saying what they think of their leader, even if they're paid to do so. Well some Russians want the return of Stalin so...
that stalin allusion is NOT an irony. i lived under the iron curtain in Eastern Europe, they are 100% of them voting putin with 3 hands ,most of the old people in Russia today, love soviet Russia they regret 1991 events happened and they adore Putin. of course they would like Stalin to return from the dead
There are also lots of people in Canada who agree with Trudeau on all those totalitarian policies. They commonly support the Ukromaniacs. The dumbness, narcissism and myopia of the left are unfathomable.

*Russia🇷🇺 occupied oblast Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhia, Kherson, Crimea.*
Russia must end occupation & keep peace.
Something important to know, for all who are interested in history and/or support Ukraine:
Rus' ought not to be confused with modern “Russia”, which derives its name from the Rus' but historically is a completely different state, which almost all its existence was at war with the Rus'.
Just like the Holy Roman Empire was actually Germany, “Russia” is actually Muscovy, despite their best attempts to convince everybody otherwise.
Its name “Russia" received only in the 18th century, when Peter I simply changed Muscovy’s name into the “All Russian Empire” (Russia originates from Rosia, name used by the Greek Orthodox Clergy in regards to Rus')
Under the reign of Cathrine II Muscovites where even punished for continuing to identify as Muscovites, and were forced to call themselves Russian.
Lands that Russia (Muscovy) claims were part of the original Rus', but actually weren't, are Novgorod, Suzdal, and Ryazan, since in historical texts of XI-XII centuries they are mentioned as separate entities from Rus'. They can be considered parts of extended Rus', although their culture was distinct from main Rus'.
In 1493, Muscovite duke Ivan III appointed himself to be the Great Ruler of All Rus'. No other kings acknowledged that. From that point on Muscovy started to make false claims on Rus' ownership.
“Russia” is an offshoot of Ukraine and not the other way round, despite what Soviet and Russian (Muscovite) historians have been trying to say for years. A Slavicised Finnic, then later, Mongolized offshoot. Kyiv was a developed cultured capital when Moscow was just another swamp village.
Germany used to call itself the Holy Roman Empire, that didn’t mean they became the Romans, and all of a sudden had a right to claim whole of Italy and its history, but yet, that’s exactly what Russia (Muscovy) did in regards to Rus'-Ukraine, which is a horrible injustice!
What's your point? History may be interesting but that was in the long past. Today Ukraine is independent democratic country and it doesn't belong to Russia. Putin, withdrawn your military forces back to Russia now!
Just like Biden´s war on critics, like Tucker Carlson

"leading to what some are calling the widest campaign of repression since the Soviet Union" - let me guess, these some have never lived in Russia
