Russian citizens who criticize the Kremlin could find themselves on the receiving end of a nasty visit from Chechen forces, according to an ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Putin’s attempted "partial mobilization" of fighting-aged Russians into the war in Ukraine has prompted a wave of social displeasure, including a mass exodus of apparent draft dodgers and protests in the outlying regions where people are bearing the brunt of the war. Russian lawmaker Adam Delimkhanov, an ethnic Chechen politician known for threatening to decapitate the relatives of a human rights activist, warned university students against any display of disrespect.
“I want to tell you that, in the universities — including MGU, MGIMO — all universities in Russia, we already have an assignment from Ramzan Akhmatovych [Kadyrov], for us and our representatives to monitor every region,” said Delimkhanov, in a reference to Moscow State University and Moscow State Institute of International Relations. “If they in the regions are not coping with it, if the services are not coping, then we will manage it, and we’ll ask from everyone who defiles and insults our country, our anthem, our constitution, our president, V.V.

Russia is a barbaric society where the best thugs rule.
Russia was capable of producing Tchaikovsky and Tolstoy. Now it produces thugs.
It was a barbaric society back then. It is a barbaric society today. It just happens that they are capable of coming up with excellent literature and appreciation for ballet. It does not mean they are civilized.
This sort of crackdown would likely increase resistance, not decrease it.
..... Well, increased flight out of Russia is a distinct possibility, too. But Pooty can probably minimize that if he finds it a problem.
“while some Russian expansionists talk about expanding further, into the Baltics, Poland, Hungary and Serbia) is falling for a deep state rope-a-dope.”
EXACTLY!
However, the world is now realizing this:
First, Russia came for Transnistria, Moldova in 1990 and we did not speak out—because I was not a Moldavian.
Then, Russia came for Georgia in 2008, and we did not speak out—because I was not a Georgian.
Then, Russia came for the Crimean peninsula and the Donbas of Ukraine, and we ARE NOW SPEAKING OUT—because RUSSIA MUST STOP INVASIONS of sovereign nations!
If not stopped then, Russia will come for non-NATO & Ex- Soviet States: Armenia, Austria, Azerbaijan BelarusCyprus, Estonia Finland, Ireland, Kazakhstan. Kyrgyzstan Latvia Lithuania, Malta, Sweden, Switzerland, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan.
—And in April, 2022, Russian Brigadier General Rustam Minnekayev directed by Putin said: ”RUSSIA is now at WAR with the whole world, as it [was] in the GREAT PATRIOTIC WAR.”
There is no one no ally left in Europe to speak for the U.S.A.:
And, now to counter Russian aggression has become far too expensive for the U.S. to defeat this renewed Russian Superpower.
