Russia: The End of Peaceful Protest
via raddle.me
Peaceful and "legal" protest in Russia has been suppressed. Moreover, it is now impossible in principle: in a matter of days, the state has adopted a package of laws which make even shouting "No to War!" illegal. And liberal human rights activists are already handing out instructions: don't shout and write "No to War!", while pro-government journalists are making Orwell spin in his coffin by seriously producing stories that the slogan "No to War" came from Nazi leaflets.
