Unlike US Citizen Terrorists who burn down their own cities at Socialist Democrat request.

Russian citizens are ratting each other out to authorities in droves for anti-war comments made in bars, beauty salons, and grocery stores in roughly a dozen cities across the country, according to a new report from the independent Russian news outlet Vrestka.
Legal filings obtained by the outlet from Moscow, Bryansk, Novosibirsk, and other cities indicate that citizens have been turned in for “violations” as minor as cracking a joke about the war, listening to Ukrainian music, or even just talking about Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion in a public space.
Many of those jailed after being reported by other citizens were charged under Article 20.3.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, a new law signed by Putin last year criminalizing “public actions aimed at discrediting” Russian Armed Forces.
One Russian man from Bryansk, Mikhail Kolokolnikov, was reportedly fined and jailed for two days after a stranger called authorities on him for saying the phrase “Glory to Ukraine” at a bar on Jan. 15. In an interview with Vrestka, Kolokolnikov said that two officers stormed the bar shortly after he said the phrase to another man, demanding to know, “Who said ‘Glory to Ukraine’ here?”
“The other day, a rocket hit a house in Dnipro,” Kolokolnikov, who was born in Ukraine, told the outlet—explaining why he said the slogan in a public place. “And I used to walk past this house every day to the beach, along the Pobeda embankment. In short, I was still a little angry because of this.”

In another case, Chita resident Ivan Sleponogov was jailed after being accused of saying an anti-war slogan during an Easter church service last April, according to a legal complaint. Sleponogov had allegedly claimed that he was actually chanting “Glory to the guys who died in Ukraine!” in reference to Russian soldiers who were killed in combat, and the case was eventually dropped—after Sleponogov had spent 10 days in jail.
Other cases detailed in the Vrestka investigation include complaints made against Russian citizens for playing a Ukrainian song in the car while driving, drunkenly making pro-Ukrainian statements from a balcony, and criticizing the war in private conversations with friends at a coffee shop. The individuals who made the complaints allegedly include eavesdropping neighbors, coworkers, and janitors.
The USSR Glory Days... When you couldn’t even trust your own blood to keep a secret, let alone your neighbor... Vlad must be wallowing in his nostalgia for tyranny and oppression.
Putin BETTER WATCH IT - if he doesn’t end the war soon, he’ll be replaced by someone who will - the Russians are SICK of this war. Unfortunately we won’t be around to see what happens after Putin’s replacement ‘ends’ the war.
“Vlad must be wallowing in his nostalgia for tyranny and oppression.”
You are aware that Vlad idolizes Joseph Stalin....
The Russian people were in the street crying when Stalin croaked. Same as we saw photos of North Korean women crying when Kim Jung Ill died.
Some brain washed masses love their rat basturd dictators, oppressors, who rob their country blind. Which Vlad Putin has also done, via skimming oil and gas profits from Russian energy companies.

PING!!!!!!!
well we can at least be glad a quisling like you won’t be around.
Ok so Russia calls it quits, withdraws. Then what after the damage has been done? What do they pay them back in? Oil? Just remember most of the people support Putin on this. Gotta be the mindset going back to Stalin.
Wow, you would have thought that these people had actually committed a crime like attending a Jan 6 rally.
Time will tell Bought-Six.
Your deck is shy a few cards, Sparky.
Are you trying to turn your nickname around Sparky?
Nice try, son. You fit the very essence of Sparky. You must have recognized yourself in Sparky when you read the story.
“Apparently, fans of Russian tyrants think backwards, too.”
Apparently Ukraine Cheerleaders are CLUELESS as to who’s next in line and what he’s already said he would do.
Why are you guys SO SURE that Russian leaders will act ‘rational’, given that you think they’re ‘incompetent’ (unlike Biden, I assume, in your opinion?).
The Backstabbers
by the O’Jays (1972)
They’re smilin’ in your face
All the time, they want to take your place
The back stabbers——back stabbers
A few of your buddies, they sure look shady
The blades are long, clenched tight in their fists
Aimin’ straight at your back
And I don’t think they’ll miss
