    That’s a very good way of putting it. Reminds me of the developments in Russia.

        Yes, but not only that. His murder is emblematic of a general culture of taking away the rights of people who do not fall in line with the regime.

          Russia’s got a history of stripping the rights from soldiers returning from battle, because having been in a foreign land meant they were now infected with capitalism and had to be imprisoned so as not to spread it.

            Well, and take a look what the Russian government is doing to the people in Russia who have the audacity to want to mourn Navalnyjs death.
