Russian authorities have banned public discussions of a wide range of non-classified military subjects that activists say will effectively prevent the public from learning crucial information about the Armed Forces.
The 60-point Federal Security Service (FSB) order, which enters into force Dec. 1, lists information that is not classified as a state secret, but which “can be used by foreign states, organizations and citizens against Russia’s security.”
Among the subjects banned from discussion are the structure and size of the Russian Armed Forces.
Other off-limits areas include weapons, troop deployments and training, as well as troop morale and crimes committed by members of the Armed Forces.
Mobilization and civil defense topics are also barred from being openly discussed, as are assessments and forecasts of Russia’s military and strategic situation.
The FSB list mirrors last year’s ban on sharing non-classified information in Russia’s defense and space industries.
It was revised last month to include information about the transportation of military personnel and ongoing military construction.

Are they allowed to discuss election theft?
I guess they need to contain themselves from soooo much winning. //sarc
I’ll bet if you could get an honest poll of Russian public opinion, they’d be against the Tsar’s war
it’s not really benefitting them in any way, is it?
this is Vlady’s stupid obsession
Sounds very like our big tech collusion with government to suppress debate on various topics.
I imagine Ukrainians aren’t allowed to discuss election theft as that would upset Obama, Nuland, and Obama and Nuland supporters as well:

“Most American politicians and corporate media have fallen in line with a one-sided narrative that paints Russia as the aggressor in Ukraine, and support sending more and more weapons to Ukrainian government forces. After decades of U.S. military disasters based on such one-sided narratives, Americans should know better by now. But what are our leaders and the corporate media not telling us this time?
The most critical events that have been airbrushed out of the West’s political narrative are the violation of agreements made by Western leaders at the end of the Cold War not to expand NATO into Eastern Europe, and the U.S.-backed coup in Ukraine in February 2014. Western mainstream media accounts date the crisis in Ukraine back to Russia’s 2014 reintegration of Crimea, and the decision by ethnic Russians in eastern Ukraine to secede from Ukraine as the Luhansk and Donetsk People’s Republics. ...”
Also from Salon: “Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland and U.S. ambassador Geoffrey Pyatt mentioned Tyahnybok as one of the leaders they were working with in their infamous leaked phone call..”
But I guess it’s okay if they do it.
No. Loose lips sink ships.
Only the elections they manipulate in the West. The reasons putin’s party wins with 85+% majorities, and why opposition candidates in russia keep falling out of windows, is off limits.
It’s like the old Soviet joke where an American tells a russian that in America, we have the freedom to call the US president an asshole, with no repercussions. The russian replies that in the USSR, he can also call the US president an asshole, without fear.
That joke doesn’t apply any more, in case you hadn’t noticed.
Yep. It’s a sign a major [as in not even close to what we’ve seen so far] offensive is around the corner.
This has to be propaganda!
The Moscow Time is anti-Russia.
Doesn’t sound good.
LOL putin is sinking into paranoia
He may have been there for a while, what with people close
to him dropping dead. I have no way of knowing, but it
hasn’t looked good.
Russian parliament passes law banning ‘LGBT propaganda’ among adults
Zelensgay won’t like as his country is going in the opposite direction, but the MSM which is largely in lockstep with all things Zelensky won’t like it and neither will triggered Zeepers
I’m sure Ukraine has spies inside Russia.
Putin calls it disinformation. From him we expect it.
You are likely correct. He is barbaric. He can’t kill everyone though and many people are too good and too courageous to be stopped by a barbarian. And many, many russians truly love their country I believe.
Actually there were NO agreements made. That is a putin lie. The only agreement had to do with Eastern Germany.
It was understood and should still be understood that NATO is a DEFENSIVE organization. It is not threat.
