In the MH17-topic several times raised the issue of the presence in Russia of criticism of Putin. There I wrote a lot on this issue, but there is oftopic. So I decided to make a separate topic in a more suitable sub-forum. So I will continue the dispute here. Will post accidentally caught me material. And to answer questions, if anyone is interested to view simple computer programmer from Russia First: Russian civil society is destroyed http://inosmi.ru/russia/20150611/228509816.html This is a translation into Russian language article of the Swiss newspaper Le Temps. The article presents an interview with the Russian human rights activist. Criticized ban foreign funding of non-profit organizations (NGO). Original of article: «La société civile russe a été détruite» http://www.letemps.ch/Page/Uuid/279...f43eca/La_société_civile_russe_a_été_détruite InoSMI is media official supported by Federal Agency on Press and Mass Communications of Russia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/InoSMI
The approval authority will be the cause for chargeability to foreign agents http://top.rbc.ru/politics/10/06/2015/5578267c9a7947135be386d6 Criticism of the new Putin's law on non-profit organizations (NPO). RBC is large Russian media group with own TV-channel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RBC_Information_Systems
What is interesting is a lie exists already in the annotation. The classification applies not any loss, but only loss in special operations. (proof). But I'm not going to argue about the veracity of the information. This is an example of criticism. Echo of Moscow is a very popular opposition radio station: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echo_of_Moscow
This is Your private opinion, which I see no point in arguing, because there is no evidence neither from one nor from the other side. The popularity of the leader itself can not be indicative of the personality cult.
Tomorrow marks the 25th anniversary of Russia as an independent state. About this critical article by Oleg Kashin. Kashin is famous anti-Putin opposition. Kashin many scolds those people who stood at the origins of modern Russia. Calls them weak, gutless, low. Says that Russia now belongs to them. Negative comments about the inhabitants of the country who are trying to live without paying attention to those who governed them. This is, actually, a big problem of the modern opposition and the liberals of Russia. They are very dismissive attitude to citizens of the country. Call them rednecks, gray mass. Constantly complain (this is a quote) "our country is good, people bad". Some even explicitly say that it would be good for the population to be reduced. It is not surprising that Russian opposition not popular among peoples... But, here, an article in the popular Russian edition, however, was published.
One of the biggest criticisms against Putin is that the fact that his critics and political enemies often seem to have a way of getting killed or arrested charged with various crimes. Basically the presidential administration has let its prosecutors run amok, turning the Russian courts into a political tool.
Tell the concrete names please? PS: You probably mixed Putin with Poroshenko. Poroshenko puts thieves, on important posts that thieves filled up a personal purse of Poroshenko (this is Saakashvili for example, the governor of Odessa region) Putin puts thieves in prison (for example as was Khodorkovsky)
