By the way, here is how Alexei Kungurov
commented on Navalny's imprisonment
"Believe me, you definitely shouldn't worry about Navalny - everything is almost in chocolate with him.
I can compare at least with how I was sitting."
So how exactly is this supposed to disprove what I said? Putin has been killing and imprisoning opposition, journalists, etc for years. Regardless if you think Navalny is "real" opposition or not, that's seriously fucked up.
Kiselev Ukrainian propagandist LOL, do you really think everyone's an idiot here.
You are already acting at the level of instincts, not reason. I even specifically indicated the name and surname of the journalist
Yevgeny Kiselev, you apparently still confused him with
Dmitry Kiselev. Yevgeny Kiselyov is a journalist in Ukraine who moved there from Russia. You do not even have a superficial knowledge of Russian-Ukrainian relations, but you still climb everywhere to criticize. But this is nothing, the main thing is that something is deposited in your head.
You got it, I'm the idiot on this point and I can admit it. Doesn't mean the Kremlin regime is not fascist though. Someone not being in prison, or not having their property taken, etc, doesn't negate the authoritarian one-party system that eliminates opposition and invades other countries on made-up pretexts.
Right. Bring up Strelkov while you're at it. Some people not being in jail doesn't negate the fact that an ordinary person can be beaten, jailed, fined, and possibly have criminal charges filed for a solitary "protest", which is technically legal but denied by all this "discreditation" bullshit.
Tell me, in the United States and European countries, there are no such examples in relation to protesters? What is Julian Assange sitting for, can you answer?
Not for holding a blank sheet of paper, that's for sure. You remind of this old Soviet joke. A Russian and an American discuss freedom of speech in their countries. The American says "I can stand in front of the White House and yell 'Reagan is an idiot' and I won't get arrested". Russian: "Same thing here. I can stand in the Red Square and yell 'Reagan is an idiot' and I won't get arrested".
Is this a war or a special operationSimple question: is there war in Ukraine, or "special operation"?
This is a
proxy war between Russia and NATO with the help of manpower in the form of Ukrainian soldiers.
That's a good one, I was wondering how you'll twist it. Well done. When and how did the proxy war start? 2014 Euromaidan? 1991? 1945?
Ukrainian nazis with flowersDamn Ukrainian nazis not greeting Russian soldiers with flowers, is that what this is?
You don't even try to be objective.
Putin's army invaded Ukraine, it's very obvious who the bad guy is. When Ukrainian army surrounds Voronezh and bombs the shit out of it, I'll post the same thing about Russians not meeting Ukrainian liberators with flowers. Is that going to be sufficiently "objective" for you?
Russian influenceThere is a reason why most of Eastern Europe wants to get as far from Russian influence as possible.
What official surveys and studies do you rely on in your statements?
There's the fact that in 30 years most of "Warsaw pact" and some former USSR members have joined EU and/or NATO, or are fighting to do so.
About the 15-ruble manual is even funnier than about Kiselyov. In fact, it is on Ukrainian resources (which you allegedly do not need) that this term is very often used, so you gave yourself away with your ears.
An example of a "Ukrainian resource":
https://pikabu.ru/story/na_banknote_nominalom_15_rubley_budet_izobrazhyon_lakhtatsentr_8050822I don't think Ukrainians give much of a shit 5 months into the brutal war whether Kremlin trolls are true believers or getting paid. It's more of a Russian internal dispute - is the population really so brainwashed like it seems in social media, or is it mostly troll farms.
