More than 15,000 Russians have already been reported detained and arrested for protesting the war. Many of which did nothing more than hold up a piece of paper. A court in even fined a man 45,000 for “silently expressing support” for activists protesting against the war in Ukraine. In other words, he was just watching, and they assumed he was being supportive. Source. How aligned is that with anyone here’s idea of freedom of speech?
You're accusing Russia of what exactly? Here's something rich:
Western media banned Russia, it fired people confiscated property. Called for Russian Violence by Social Media. And the Ukrainian Government has made it illegal to protest the war like 7-8 years ago, not only that, it banned opposition media as well a few years ago. But do celebrate massacres, do honor Nazi Collaborators, do lynch minorities and opposition alike, with impunity.
We get that you have a different view now. But perhaps it's more useful to compile the above in an article yourself instead of the monologue above?
