    In a way, can you blame the average Russian for being afraid to speak out against leadership, whatever their personal feelings may be? Ever heard of Lenin? Stalin? The Romanovs? Political dissidents are not and never were treated kindly in Russia.

      yes I do!

      I have friends who left russia or belarus for speaking out what they think of this perverted vision of russia! They did not held back and it’s the fault of the russian people that they have this leadership, because they rather accepted it for all the years instead rising against it!

      Putin has all the power because not enough people fought him!
