That includes history that has been revised to fit Putin's standards. That's a de facto Stalinist regime.

This is Anna. She was a teacher at junior high school in one of the larger Russian cities until recently when her pupils told her that there's a lot of money to be made for those who volunteer to the front in Ukraine, and she told them that "money isn't everything" and "it's possible to die at the front". The result was that she lost her job and was sentenced to two years probation and fined two months' salaries.
