Russia’s parliament has approved a controversial law that allows courts to jail people for online “disrespect” of government or state officials, including the president, Vladimir Putin.
The law, which critics say is reminiscent of Soviet-era legislation used to target political dissidents, stipulates fines of up to 100,000 roubles (£1,155) for “indecent” online posts that demonstrate a “blatant disrespect for society, the country, Russia’s official state symbols, the constitution, or the authorities”.
Shortly after winning his 4th ( and potentially last) term, Putin signed off on legislation to gradually increase retirement age:
Women- from age 55 to 60
Men- from age 60 to 65
As a result, there is an abundance of online criticism and Putin’s trust ratings have substantially declined.
Most media is state- owned and the message controlled.

Most media? Russians have access to the same western media that you & I have. 95% of the MSM in the USA is controlled by a handful of corporations. I'm not seeing where one has the advantage over the other.
Absolutely Trump would love to do this here. He has said how much he admires Kim's control over his country. So why not?
