From a NYT's piece (paywalled):
A group of leading Russian lawyers on Tuesday asked the country’s highest court to declare a law banning criticism of the Russian armed forces unconstitutional, a rare display of opposition against draconian censorship measures imposed by the Kremlin in the wake of the invasion of Ukraine.
The complaint, filed by three lawyers and supported by 10 more, most of whom are still in Russia, asked the Constitutional Court to repeal the measure, which has emerged as the Kremlin’s most effective tool for stifling antiwar dissent in the country.
“This law was passed with only one goal — to suppress antiwar activism,” said Violetta Fitsner, a lawyer with OVD-Info, a Russian rights group, and one of the authors of the complaint. “Such restrictions cannot exist in a democratic society.”
It will be interesting to see how this plays out. If anyone doubted Putin has evolved from a relative democrat in the almost 11 years he's been president to an autocratic dictator, you're about to see there is no doubt. Putin will squelch this but it's only a matter of time before he is going to have to explain the catastrophe he's created for Russia with his invasion of Ukraine.
What's interesting to me is that there has been reports of substantial anti-war activism in the shadows of the Russian streets, their bars and cafes. out of the prying yes of the FSB. There's also rumors of oligarchs, seeking to salvage and protect their wealth trying to find ways to get into Putin's ear or find ways to find safe harbor in Ukraine.Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.
