According to the human rights organization OVD-Info, more than 9,000 charges have been brought in Russia for dishonoring the army, which normally means criticizing the war in Ukraine.
According to the chairman of the Russian Human Rights Council, the country’s widespread silencing of dissidents is a matter of cleansing, not political repression.
Criticism of the war in Ukraine is practically forbidden in Russia, and all the Russian president Vladimir Putin opponents are either in prison, exile or dead.
– After all, this is a difficult and difficult situation, we are at war with the West, Valery Fadeev said, according to the state-run Interfax news agency.
– And some minimal restrictions on those who are actually on the side of the enemy cannot be considered oppression, but minor cleansing measures, the chairman claimed.
