I'm not sure you cannot find elsewhere alike rules . The punishment for breaking this law is fines 10 000 - 30 000 roubles for individuals and 100 000 - 300 000 for organisations. The US dollar is 36 roubles.
So, nothing like "tossing to jail". Anyway, I'd not state it's ok with the freedom of speech in Russia, it's still not the USSR.
The Soviet constitution guaranteed all sorts of things (like free speech and religious expression) NONE of which were actually allowed in practice.
The fact that YOU have not yet been arrested does not mean others have not been. You post from a message board that just may have an axe to grind.
The list of things you picked out from the new law do NOT exist in the US...
What I do notice is that you have NO idea what a real republic with constitutional freedoms is all about.
Since the law is new you have NO idea how it will be used with Putin consolidating his power
