Here another repressive law being adopted in ruzzia.

meduza.io/en/news/2025/04/23/r

I expect that GOP will copy this soon
If not copied already, but in national-wide law.

Also expect that other kremlin satellites such as Georgian Dream, pet party of Ivanishvili, or Orban & Fico, would copy this law.

Noticed that it is become common tactic for repressive regimes and wannabe dictators copy repressive tactics from Kremlin.🧵

Malgré cet enfermement qui commence à durer et les conditions d'une incarcération à l'isolement, elle garde le moral, et nous on garde la rage de la savoir...

I'm honored to be writing for the media that had generations of different great anarchists contributing to it.

Сярод дэпартаваных народаў у СССР трэба асобна адзначыць пантыйскіх грэкаў. Спачатку яны апынуліся ў Грузіі, куды ўцяклі ад разаніны ў Турэччыне. А ўжо адтуль Сталін іх саслаў у Цэнтральную Азію.
У якасьці культурнага сьледа, які яны пакінулі ў рэгіёне, можна згадаць такога сьпявака, як Лакі Кесаглу. Вось ён, напрыклад, услаўляе прыгажосьць Алматы:

A little story from Russia for you. I want to share one of those, since liberal mass media always like to share stories about business successes. It is always one sided and wrong (they really like to “forget” about such facts as country of birth, phases of market, inheritance etc.) – here is a little bit of the other side.
There was a guy, named Andrey Kotov, who really like inventions. He was a "mad scientist" in a good way. He tried to create a lot of things. His entire home was full of different contraptions and gadgets, that he created with his own hands. Got all the “A” marks at school and university. He tried to create his own business – an AI powered glass tanks for fish. Programmed and developed all by himself. But, as I wrote in my previous posts, modern imperialistic Russia is not a place for anything new. So, no one cares and his idea didn’t work out.
Kotov was a real scientist – he had written several scientific articles and had a grant from the state for his research. But in 2022 due to a sack of budget spending to all peaceful science programs this grant was rejected as well.
A vegetarian, Buddhist and a scientist – no enemies, really nice person. No police records, no felonies no crimes. A perfect citizen from liberal point of view, still hoping to achieve a dream of creating something new and becoming a successful businessman.
But, our guy didn’t give up. He decided to create a travel agency and called it “Men travel”. You see, Kotov also really liked traveling. It was another of his hobbies, passions. And he decided to try one more time to turn his passion into a business.
He came up with an idea to make extreme tours specifically for men. One, who knew Russian politics, after these words may already guess the ending of this story. Kotov had one fatal flaw – he didn’t care about politics. And when anti-LGBT law came to power in Russia his “Men travel” immediately became a target for political police.
He was arrested with brutality and humiliation, as Putin forces always do. And then since Kotov was considered an LGBT activist and his company was portrayed as a branch of LGBT movement he experienced specific kind of torture , that is common in modern Russian penal system especially to anyone accused with anything connected to LGBT.This and other tortures were used on him non stop and all this day by day systematically. Meanwhile court was about to sentence him for 10 years and another case for 7 years was preparing – 17 years total. And someone among executioners of political police had gone too far – Kotov died. He died from tortures, just as a lot of people before him in Putin’s prisons. He endured several weeks of hellish nightmare of Moscow penal center “Vodnik”. He died without any guilt whatsoever. According to open data - He was not even an LGBT person. He just created a company with a convenient name for political police forces to attack.
He was just not created for this fascist country. He tried to follow his passions. He tried to find his way. And he pay an ultimate price just for this. He was killed in a terrible brutal manner, They say, that it has happened after a visit of psychiatrist – and we all know what it means – a torture with medical equipment and specific drugs to make pain unbearable, an NKVD heritage from Stalin’s time. Kotovs relatives, as always, in modern Russia are now under pressure to let this go as a suicide.
Sorry guys, but getting credit for your invention and creating a business empire around it – may only work in some liberal fairy tales. RIP Andrey Kotov - you did not deserve all of this.

Я могу себе представить, что Андрей Котов покончил с собой и, даже, я бы хотел поздравить г-на Котова, что ему удалось покончить с собой с первого раза и прервать всё то растаптывание человеческого достоинства, с которым он столкнулся. Мне сложно представить, что я смог бы правильно порезать себя с первой попытки. #AndreyKotov #inducementtosuicide #suicide #news #prisonerofconscience #POC #LGBTQ #repressions #greatreaction

Гулаговцы «исчерпали лимит свиданий» Артёма Камардина с помощью вольных приписок. Год атаки на «не те» семьи. t.me/mayakovskoe_delo/1065 #ArtemKamardin #YearoftheFamily #repressions

TelegramМаяковское дело | Камардин, Дайнеко, Штовба‼️Сотрудники ИК-2 города Покрова записали посещение защитником Артема Камардина как краткосрочное свидание, тем самым перебив лимит посещений в колонии. Жена Артема не смогла сегодня попасть к нему на свидание. Данное решение колонии полностью противоречит УИК РФ статьи 89: 4. Для получения юридической помощи осужденным предоставляются свидания с адвокатами или иными лицами, имеющими право на оказание юридической помощи, нотариусами без ограничения их числа продолжительностью до четырех часов. Свидания осужденных с указанными лицами, нотариусами предоставляются наедине, вне пределов слышимости третьих лиц и без применения технических средств прослушивания.
