No, i'm fine, and i will tell you why i can't imagine a russian newspaper joking : Because of the freedom of speech that is controlled by russian's government.
The biggest exemple is in 2014 when Pavel Durov (founder of Vkontakte) was fired as he claimed his refusal to shut down a VK group dedicated to anti-corruption activist Alexei Navalny. His social network was taken over by Vladimir Putin's allies that wanted to have full control.
In other words, he created a website, that was allowing freedom of speech, but Putin's government asked Durov to control the infos that was surfing there, and moderate the ones that wasnt approved by the Kremlin.
He even claimed that Russia is incompatible with Internet business at the moment (his words).
