  1. If you ever think your job is pointless, just look at judges in Russia.

  2. Really wish those in political prosecution could be given a helping hand to Poland, but we all know the Kremlin would abuse the hell out of this…

  3. And still many westeners worship russia (eg. this ugly dutch which won the elections recently)

  6. If Putin is considered a strong man with a fearlessly reputation, why is he banning these kind of “terrorist” organisations?

  7. They went after all possible human rights organizations, environmental activist, activists against police brutality, activists for legalizing of drugs, animal rights acitivist, literally, any kind of activists that would be critizing the state in any way.

    They shut down any alternative source of information by monopolizing the media and the itnernet.

    They have been doing so since mid of 2000s, accelerated in 2014 and went full rampage after invasion of Ukraine.

    Why is anyone surprized?

  9. And I still see people who seriously believe that homophobia in Ukraine is on a par with homophobia in Russia. Russia is a rotten terrorist state, and Ukraine is taking slow steps towards democracy.

    If not for Russia’s open, unprovoked war, we would continue to see this trend in Ukraine

  10. At a moment I thought it was narrated by David Attenborough.
