The head of Russia’s parliament said he plans to submit legislation next week that would allow the state to seize the property of “scoundrels” who criticize the war in Ukraine.
Vyacheslav Volodin, speaker of the Duma, an institution controlled by the Kremlin, said he planned to submit the bill on January 22.
“Anyone who tries to destroy Russia, betray it, must be accordingly punished and compensate the state with their property for the damage caused,” he said in a Telegram post on January 20.
The bill, if passed, would be the latest in a series of harsh measures aimed at stifling any dissent inside Russia as it struggles on the battlefield in Ukraine.
Things tankies won’t read issue 1001
The “Russia has more freedom than the US” narrative is almost as confusing to me as the idea that Trump is someone you want to represent you. I know people think this but I just can’t understand how they also are able yo navigate the day to day requirements of life.
Like, how do they determine what food to eat? Nothing but Pizza Pops eaten thawed but cold? How do they survive?
Instance blocking is a wonderful thing. I have gone weeks without thinking about tankies (until this comment).
