  1. That’s nothing new. It’s how the communist regime was able to control such a huge country for 70 years.

  2. >Under the laws, Russians can be fined up to $560 or imprisoned for up to five years if found guilty of vaguely defined offenses that involve discrediting the military.

    How to get rid of annoying neighbors.

  3. You only have to outrun your neighbor to get away from the bear!

    ^(Until there are no neighbors left.)

  4. These type of low trust societies will take decades to fix.

  5. Ah, back to the good old days when Russians were their own worst enemy’s in the worst way possible.

    George Orwell told us to “imagine a boot stamping on a human face – for ever”.

    Now we get to see Russians contort themselves so they can stamp on their own face with their own boot.

  6. Peasants: We have found a Traitor! (A Traitor! a Traitor!)

    Burn her burn her!

    Peasant 1: We have found a Traitor, may we burn her?

    (cheers)

    Vladimir: How do you known she is a Traitor?

    P2: She looks like one!

    V: Bring her forward

    (advance)

    Woman: I’m not a Traitor! I’m not a Traitor!

    V: ehh… but you are dressed like one.

    W: They dressed me up like this!

    All: naah no we didn’t… no.

    W: And this isn’t my nose, it’s a false one.

    (V lifts up carrot)

    V: Well?

    P1: Well we did do the nose

    V: The nose?

    P1: …And the hat, but she is a Traitor!

    (all: yeah, burn her burn her!)

  7. The real story today is mother’s in Russia actually protested for 1 minute before being arrested. The gears are starting to crack.

  8. This could be evidence of shifting opinions among the russian people, away from support for the invasion of Ukraine, but I bet a significant amount of it is people taking advantage of the heightened paranoia of the state towards discordant viewpoints, to get rid of neighbors they dislike, while making a play for much needed reward money.

  9. So not only are they spineless, they’re snitches too.

    Lol

  10. Why should they be surprised. They used to do this during the Soviet days. Old habits die hard

  11. Bringing back the good old vague “wrecking” charges from the Stalin era i guess

  12. The 2024 election next year is going to be a glorious shitshow.

  13. Russian citizens: *”This is like gestapo!”*

    Russia: “It’s *not* like gestapo!”

    * Russia quickly writes down into their notes: *”Well whatabout your gestapo…”*

    Russia: *”Hey Germany! Whatabout…”*

  14. I grew up in Ukraine while it was still part of the USSR, and immigrated to the US shortly before independence. My mother’s friend’s daughter moved to Moscow from Kharkiv about 20 years ago, and can’t get out now, but we still have some communication with her and her family. The snitching situation is on the levels of Stalinist Russia. At this point it’s being used for any personal grievance. A neighbor is being too loud? Call the cops and tell them he is disparaging the army. Somebody cut you off in traffic? Call the cops and tell them the plate number and that the car had a Ukrainian sticker. Cops WILL follow up because at the least they’ll get a bribe out of the victim. It’s completely dystopian.

    The daughter got in trouble because she was talking on her cell with her mother and her neighbor overheard a couple of Ukrainian words and immediately snitched. They’re well off, so she was able to easily bribe her way out of it, but still. If they leave through Turkey, they will lose their business and most of their savings because it’s very difficult to get money out of Russia now. It’s getting to the point where they’re seriously considering it because it’s clear that things are getting worse.

  15. So Russians are reporting each other with the same frequency of someone playing LoL?

  16. >Someone must have made a false accusation against Josef K., for he was arrested one morning without having done anything wrong

  17. I’m mostly apolitical, but I do like to snitch sometimes, as a treat.

  18. They’re Russian. They hate their neighbors anyway. This is national sport

  19. When the revolution starts it will be unstoppable. All those top guys live in sheer fear, that’s why they lash out.

  20. Car cut you off in traffic?

    *calls police*

    “Yeah this car in front of me yelled, “Slava Ukraine fuck Putin.”

  21. Not really all that surprised.

    Is your upstairs neighbor loud and rude? Say they are listening to Ukrainian music or anti-Putin parody songs and they might just disappear from your life forever.

  22. This is my neighbor, Ivan. He is pain in my assholes. I get government potato, he get government potato. I get beautiful Lada, he get beautiful Lada. I snitch on him to Kremlin, now he in Gulag. Great success!

  23. The MAGAs are really looking forward to that part of Dictatorship here in the states.

  24. How to bankrupt a country financially and morally 101.

    First things first: start a war you are ill prepared to fight let alone win.

    Secondly: shoot or imprison most of your top military commanders.

    Third: destroy your economy with sanctions

    Fourth: give your now starving citizens money for snitching on their neighbors.

    Fifth: sit back and watch the whole thing implode!

  25. Hmm… the more petty or trifling reports they have to sort out, the less likely they are to catch actual dissent. Hopefully, that thought is keeping the upper echelons paranoid.

  26. Snitching on neighbors is how the Gestapo was so efficient. It was a tiny organization that spied on dozens of countries. They relied on and rewarded people’s pettiness.
