Russia deepens repression of opposition

[PostPravДa] Today, the Kremlin-controlled media in Moscow read, among other things, that former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev once again showed a map of Ukraine, with territories annexed to Russia. All this on “the occasion of Russia Day,” – we read. There’s also an announcement of a meeting between the president of the Russian Federation and the leader of Turkey, as well as a piece on the “revolt in Germany.” The regime’s media in Russia have been focusing most of their attention on new regulations designed to make life more difficult for non-governmental organizations, particularly those deemed by the Kremlin to be undesirable and contrary to the official line of the state. Repression will also be applied to foreigners within the Russian Federation. It can be expected that this will be an argument for many Ukrainians living in the occupied territories to finally agree to accept a Russian passport. Without it, they will have to leave “the country” after 90 days.

The Chairman of the State Duma Security Committee, Vasily Piskariov, stressed that the State Duma Committee to Investigate Foreign Interference in Russia’s Internal Affairs had revealed the facts of destructive activity: Association for Northern Territories, British Council and Deutsche Welle. Duma deputy Nikita Chaplin, in turn, told RIA Novosti that the adoption of the documents is an important step in ensuring Russia’s security and sovereignty, all the more so as there is tremendous pressure on the youth from abroad.”
