Respect
Oh my I bet Trump is really jealous of Volodya now.
This week, Russian lawmakers advanced a package of new legislation aimed at curtailing internet freedom. Among the laws awaiting the president’s eventual signature is a measure that would allow authorities to jail individuals for insulting government officials online.
Yeah. That’s what Trump would like to see.
Russia is not China, and the country still has a relatively boisterous online culture. But the proposed laws would widen the definition of restricted speech, calling for penalties of up to 15 days in administrative detention for those found guilty of posting information that shows “disrespect for society, the state, (and) state symbols of the Russian Federation,” — including, presumably, Putin himself.
Well that’s fine. There’s plenty to talk about besides society, the state, and state symbols. There’s cooking, and knitting, and…cooking, and…
….vodka.
Kropotkin, Lenin, Trotsky, Bulgakov, Solzhenitsyn….it’s hard to think of a great Russian who would not be jailed in today’s Russia.
Chekhov, Tolstoy, Turgenev…also jailbait.
Cats.
I can’t believe you omitted cats.
The Russians will just have to name their cats creatively.
