      Why?

      I don’t wish it for me but what if the Russian people is not against it?

      That’s a problem only they can address

        Just to be clear, you just break two russian laws and if we was on smth like VKontacte (russian facebook, bought by government via mailru long time ago) and you was russian citizen in russia, you could be sentenced for prison from 12 to 20 years. I’m skidaddle skadoodle from russia year ago, and that was a best decision in my whole life. Sadly, not every one can leave at this point, cause europe (even when they allowed to get visa) was too expensive for average russian and smth close and more affordable, like China, Kazakhstan, etc., not too much better then russia.

            It will be a bit easier for me, if you can check for yourself via translator. I use firefox TWP extension to translate sites from lang I do not know.

            So, there it is, link 1, law that usually used as “appendant” for a case. Any hatespeech against goverment was determent by this law, before specific ones was introduced: link2 for example.

            link3 by this law you can also get up to 5 years of prison, that one actually not so often used, but you can check for yourself, there was a list of sued people, cant find it right now. Upd. Found it! Upd1. I didnt notice until now, but site that tracked everyone, who was illegally sentenced to prison, have been liquidated in 2022 apr 5. So, it’s not updated since then and do not have people who was recently got sued.

            But that all just child play, cause last couple of days they caught people link4, link5 by this law, also know as treason. Especially funny to hear that about trans dude, who just donated own money to Ukrainians military forces.

            Also, if you “mass media” of some sort, or just more popular, then a stone from a road, you got this as a bonus.

            List can go on, when I said about “laws that was broken” I meant only first and link4, cause they more often used, if police just need a case.

            So, as you can see, Russia is a wonderful country, 10 out of 10, would never live there ever again.

        Having populations under the thumb of dictators is bad for everyone, even if you live in a relatively free country. Any tools and mechanisms they use to oppress their people are, by extention, bad.

        I mean, if they don’t want to look at things they shouldn’t have to.

        The problem is those that don’t want to be censored not having a choice.
