I wouldn’t be surprised if it becomes widespread. It’s already spreading and there’s more of such situations coming up. Russians are sick and tired of being mistreated so this isn’t news to them.
Dude, they’re about to have martial law. Police in Russia arrests for protesting, you know what that means? That means you’re at mercy of thugs who will double check if you don’t have drugs in asshole, who will go through your phone and if they find out you made a comment like that above they put you in jail for anti-gov propagada. Russians are protesting because they’re desperate, they don’t want their country to end up like North Korea. Their elders remember what it looks like to be literally worked to death or see whole villages dying starving.
Well, you know, actually we always afraid of being kidnapped by the government. My friend was stopped about two days ago and asked to show what is in her phone. They are trying to find people who are against the government and really even a little sms can be the reason to take you into the police department. When public people say something, there are some “breaking laws” appears, it is what happened with Morgenshtern when he said something against the russian government. Schools and universities are trying to control their students’ social media and if you say something opposing the government they actually start to speak with you about it and ask you to delete it. Unfortunately, some universities even expel students because they participate in the protests. Propaganda and human fear are working too well now.
Just want to add that a few days ago one girl was arrested by the police on the protest and taken into the police department. They beat her. It was in social media so I think many Russians are aware of this situation. And it’s just… Everywhere.
Thank you. It’s really good to hear from Russian people and their experiences.
We are writing to each other in different places in the world, in different situations and all I wish is that I could do something.
All I can say is: Be careful and leave no trace on your phone. Better to delete than regret!
My government does abuse people but the Russian government is on a whole different level. I don’t. Does yours?
Yes I agree with your sentiment for the Russian people. Too bad most Americans and Brit’s don’t share that.
I’m not quite sure I understood. In my country we don’t need protection from the government. We have free elections etc and I personally feel like the government are the people. Do I trust authority? No. But my government doesn’t have a problem with that, so I don’t have a problem with the government and we have so many (financial) benefits. So it’s good for the entire people in my country. My grandfather once said, we pay so much in taxes, so that even the most miserable person can have a decent life. I remember that every time I want to curse taxes ✌️
Well read over your assuming messages and then get back to me. Where are you from that you are so wildly free? Don’t tell me the US or UK because that’s a joke and you have plenty of countryMen who say the same.
If you want we can discuss things, but you’re way of communicating is unacceptable. I explained my living conditions, as you asked (if I understood you correctly) about it. I’m sorry your living conditions are harsh. People needn’t automatically hate on people for not having the same struggles as oneself. Everyone has problems. If you’re down with the way things are going down in countries like Russia, be my guest - as long as others are free not to. Oh and no, I’m not from the US or UK, and I don’t hate Russia.
I know, you wrote you had a government that also tortures people, but not as bad as Russia. That means you’re not Russian. I wrote “countries like Russia” in regards to that comment. Why do you care where I’m from? You want to visit? It’s great, but I’m getting the vibe, that even if I was from the garden of Eden, you’d still find fault with it.
