Ladies and gentlemen, there will be no comments from the representative of the State Prosecution today. That’s it for today, most likely — there’s no point in waiting. Follow this chat, our website and Telegram channel to get official information on Navalny’s sentence. So far, to date, we have no further comments,” Vadim Polezhaev, the Moscow City Court’s deputy officer in charge of media and public relations, told reporters following the August 4 hearing.
I hope that people in Russia who think that Stalin was cool are okay with Russia also meandering towards the kind of political repression that existed in Russia then, because that does seem to be part of what they're likely getting.
Under Putin criticising Stalin is seen as an attack against Russia. Now there is half a generation of young people not aware of any wrongdoings by him. But it is not only the lack of education. You always have the wilfully ignorant who dwell in romanticised versions of the past or those who knowingly act in malice. The latter is really funny to me. They kinda think they are exempt from any oppression until the shit show inevitably hits them too.
