bah, I couldn't steer away.
Not to defend Russia's regime or position here, but 1) I've lived in both the "East" and West, and I'm not sure you uderstand true freedom either; 2) I've done a rather large amount of research on Chechnya, and while the Russian government had indeed bent backwards to justify the unjustifyable costs of the war, I'm afraid most of the BS regarding the "freedom fighters" has been decidedly flowing from the Western media. |
None of us have "true freedom", because we're still bound by law set up by the government. However, "freedom" is something in much shorter supply in Russia with the restrictions placed upon its media, and the way in which the Kremlin has its dirty hands on every single area of the economy and everyday life. So no, I don't know what "true freedom" is, but I've got a damned better idea when I'm able to criticize my government without being locked up and having the key thrown away.
