  • In Russia criticising the military or their invasion of Ukraine is now effectively illegal. An atmosphere of suspicion is leading a growing number of Russians to denounce their friends, neighbours and even relatives to the police for opposing the war.

      Russia is under western attack therefore the only way to prevent fifth column activity is harsh penalties. Criticisms of the special military operation are a danger which the west can use to exploit to undermine the war effort. The west also used press censorship during WW2 and the cold war in order to prevent enemy activity from undermining and demoralising the army. You may think it's harsh and draconian but in wartime it's necessary.

      @@opart I think you are misunderstanding what Android Linuxson is trying to say.
      The presumption is that Russian law enforcement and justice systems are never wrong. So they can't appear to be wrong. So when someone is brought in who is so not guilty that even these Putinist judges can't bring themselves to send that person away, they give them a suspended sentence. They can't simply acquit, because then it will logically follow that someone in the system has made a mistake for having brought that person in. Suspended sentence is sort of a win-win: that person's life doesn't get completely ruined and the law enforcement and justice systems still appear infallible.
      Yes, it's Kafkaesque and Orwellian, but this is what this presumably conservative paradise that is modern Russia has come to be.

    Same in my country, Nicaragua, no one speaks against the government and if they do, you either end up dead, in prison or in hiding trying to find a way to escape to America looking for political asylum. The Press is silenced and shut down, now waving a Nicaraguan flag is considered opposition against the government. Many laws and regulations are not spoken about. My latest trip back to Nicaragua this year I was sequestered to a search when I landed for hours. I brought my cousin a binocular toy and it was taken away because they posed a threat to security. There are no drones allowed, certain books are restricted unless it is approved by the Sandanista Government. To top it off they do business with Russia, Cuba and China.

      It has never been legal or encouraged by any state authority to openly preach sedition etc. Now were I to do what I have done many times in my country and lived in Russia I would have been arrested and jailed many times so NO your analogy is not correct.
      Whether in Russia or Australia if you support openly sedition against the government of the day you will run foul of laws.
      If you criticise your government in Russia in any way publicly in Russia you will run foul of authorities and find yourself visited by them and probably jailed.
      In my country I have done that many times with no ill consequences.
      Clearly you do not understand the difference between a citizen disagreeing with his/her governments policies peacefully etc and someone supporting the overthrow by force of his/her government endangering people lives in the process.
      And no Yes, those of us that can see the difference in the analogy you described are not living in ignorance. You compared apples with oranges rather than apples to illustrate your point which was formed on false premise.

    What is important to acknowledge is how the mother of the imprisoned man knows that if she criticizes the new law and regime, the regime
    might give her son a harsher punishment…This makes her cautiously say that „she wants to have faith in the Russian „justice system” and wants to believe her son is innocent and not a traitor” Which basically means that their defence is based on either proving that he never said what he has said or to regime what he has said and openly say he supports the war..
    Let this be a lesson to all about how authoritarianism works and what it does to people. It forces them to live in a cage and openly say that the cage they live in is not a cage, or suffer whatever consequences the regime comes up with and face a punishment, which severity will depend on how much the slave confesses to being a degenerate and horrible person and how much he and his family bag and are willing to strip themselves of dignity and self respect.

      The west is not so far removed from Russian society/system. In the west disagree with a minority and you are a phobe. Disagree politically with a certain political party and you can be cancelled, lose your job, reputation etc.
      Do you not see this is exactly what occurs in Russia. Yet we call this democracy and say they have totalitarianism. The rabid left in the west is the ruling party in Russia yet look at the majority of the western world. They have left wing governments and many say that is good.
      Over the last 50 years we have been conditioned that a few have the power over the many which is exactly what the Soviet system preached. All minorities must be treated equally with the majority yet government have given all the power to minorities to the point the majority must remain silent or be abused as racist, phobic, alt right, neo nazis etc.
      Look at all the professional lobbyists that surround all our governments badgering them to pass this or that law that prevents free speech etc yet the majority has only one voice when an election is called. The rest of the time to that government the majority is irrelevent as they appease the vocal/violent left.
      And on you tube etc we criticise the same behaviours of the government as the left foist upon us and pretend we are free. The only difference is the government does not jail us but society and the media do.
      It is only a matter of time before we the people are treated just like these arrested and jailed people in Russia are.

It certainly seems as though intellect is turning out to be the great filter that resolves the fermi paradox. I do have hope that all of this cynical bullshit is the result of missing out on some pivotal saving grace that will rescue the future from the wicked mentality of the people in power across the planet, however I have yet to see any signs that can allow me to rest easy at night knowing that salvation is possible.

      It's not because it's logistically hard, America could kill putin if they really wanted to but they don't. There's so much shady ahit behind the scenes that we aren't allowed to know, I'm sure there are plenty of safety nets, black mailing, and contingencies set up that protect putin from an assassination... though it would be nice if the world was rid of him. I fell bad because I know that many Russians are misinformed and brain washed but it's hard not to want them taken out too when they're out here betraying their own family just for thinking differently than them.

The reason Russia is doing poorly whether it be in the economic sense, political sense or in the military sense, as few examples is due to these important REASONS that needs to be engrained in your HEAD. The death of Tsar Nicholas II and his family marked the birth of Russia's downfall. Communism arose and absolutely destroyed Russia's traditional, Judeo-Christian principles that was manifested at a societal level amongst the people of Russia. Communism made the people of Russia poor, ignorant and evil. Simply look at all your rulers since the downfall of the Romanovs. Stalin was an evil dictator, Lenin was an evil dictator amongst many others. Christianity was the cornerstone of Russia's society that is no longer the majority in Russia. Jesus taught love, peace and to turn our cheeks if someone hits us. Russia is the opposite, such as Putin, it's hit one cheek and hit the other harder.

It’s the right of all citizens to be able to disagree with what their governments do, but in autocracies and dictatorships this is what you get sadly It’s reminiscent of Germans reporting on their neighbours before and during WWII.

    I remember a story about how a woman in 1940's Berlin was listening to BBC radio (which naturally was a crime) and upon hearing the list of captured POW's she recognised one of the names as her neighbours son. So she ran over and told her neighbour how he was still alive but unfortunately was captured, when asked how she knew she said she heard it on the BBC. A little while later the Gestapo picked her up, the neighbour grassed on her.
    Now Putin has planted the seed of mistrust in the people, people shopping in their friends, family, neighbours, strangers. It's in my opinion one of the most dangerous tactics a leader can enforce, because a nation during wartime cannot be divided.

      Maybe. She was a bit careful with her words. As shown, Russia may have increasingly repressive laws, but police still only enforce the laws that exist. Stating your anti-government opinion *in and of itself* isn't illegal in Russia (yet).

      That’s not a right in Russia. And if we aren’t careful it won’t be a right in the US either.
