You are so stupid to laugh at that. I have no idea what thing you consider as "freedom", but the US police kills more US citizens than terrorists. It's about a thousand times more than in Russia. So enjoy a boot on your neck and be a sheep like others  )) |
Faced with international pressure and the rising potential for domestic discontent, the Russian government expanded its control of the media, stepped up a propaganda campaign to justify its actions and vilify its opponents, and cracked down on independent news outlets, particularly online.
Journalists, politicians, and family members who sought to investigate the deaths of Russian servicemen in Ukraine encountered bureaucratic obstruction and trumped-up criminal charges. Regional elections in September were tightly controlled from above, with any coherent opposition eliminated.
By the end of the year, Russia?s government was increasingly isolated from the international community and struggling to neutralize anticorruption activists and other domestic critics.
