It's rare that I've ever read such unadulterated bullshit on Hacker News.
This. To suggest that Putin's Russia is a freedom-loving country beggars belief.
I'll bet its even rarer that you have visited Putin's Russia or talked to any of the citizens who live there, not emigrants who have left but the people who still live there and who do not want to leave.
Conversely, there are many 'citizens' who would rather see Russians leave.
Chechnya (Ichkeria)... Sochi (Circassia)... Karelia (Finland)... and so many more...
In other words, ask the very people who, if any the claims about Putin's Russia are true, wouldn't dare or know to speak out.... sure.
