who's talking about the ussr!
i'll grant you that this particular news is only part of many similar incidents.
but it is a particularly big one as civil rights go.
the government is clearly trying to squash people who point out its corruption - “In many countries the government would have resigned over this.”
but we cannot dismiss it. russia is (still) considered a democratic country, it is still the largest in the world and pretty high up in the statistics in all other aspects, too.
it is part of europe and shares a very long border with the eu.
anybody who is following russia's development with even half an eye must agree that things are getting worse there recently.
