Laws in Russia

Russia has more freedom for freedom of speech than any country in the NATzO west and even most of the world.
There are only the following restrictions on slander and libel in the criminal law:

Statute 148: against religions and their believers in the context of religion

Statute 297: against courts and the judicial system

Statute 319: against members of the executive and legislative branches of government (not any bureaucrat)

Statute 336: against members of the armed services

There are no provisions for libel and slander against private citizens. That is because it was removed as a provision
from criminal law in 2011. A 1000 ruble fine (total joke) exists under the civil law and eople in Russia do not have money
to engage in civil law trials to get financial compensation from the lying filth that is trying to bring Russia down.
By contrast the 5th column liberasts sit on foreign money which makes 1000 ruble fines applied even dozens of times
totally irrelevant. So moving libel and slander to civil law was moronic. Civil law is a kind of BS anyway. Either something
is a crime or it isn't.

Time to restore sanity. If someone makes an actual argument they will not prosecuted. If they engage in vapid ad
hominem smear then they should takes their chances.

BTW, any argument that this would be a repressive move does not fly. In the UK there was an independent publication
called Living Marxism back in 1999. It was sued into oblivion under the UK's "civil" libel laws for daring to expose the
fraud created by one of the UK's TV networks when they purported to film Bosnian Muslims behind barbed wire in
a "concentration camp". This hoax did not give the context that the barbed wire enclosed a small compound and
the Bosnian Muslims were outside it.
