An MP from Saint Petersburg, Russia, is suing Putin for “fakes about the army”.
This “blasphemy” law was passed on Putin’s personal orders to scare the public into keeping their mouths shut about attacking Ukraine.
Thousands of ppl were thrown in jail for criticizing the war, some killed in assassinations in Europe and even USA.
Most recent case was a man getting 8 years prison time for listening to a radio program, neighbors called the cops on him.

I was born in the USSR and grew up in an ex-soviet "republic". Want an honest opinion on communism from someone who's experienced it firsthand? Ask me.
