Russia's reversion to the Soviet Union is well underway. Although the attempt to reassert old USSR borders has run into major difficulties, internally freedoms continue to be crushed at an impressive rate, as demonstrated by the case of a pensioner in Yekaterinburg, who was convicted for calling Stalin a "dictator" and a "murderer."
Really, that's like getting locked up for calling the Pope Catholic.
According to Nexta:
Of course, he was also banned from the internet as well.
Being sent to a gulag or getting a bullet in the back of the head for having opinions can't be too far behind, but don't get upset, because, let's face it, the Russian people love being abused and humiliated in this way, or else at least one of them would have successfully put a bullet in Putin by now.

According to Nexta:
"In Yekaterinburg, 75-year-old Nikolai Dolgushin left a comment on "Odnoklassniki" calling Stalin a dictator and a murderer. The phrases: "The dictator and murderer Stalin started World War II" and "The murderer and dictator Stalin declared war on peaceful Poland" led to a criminal case.
The court found him guilty of "rehabilitating Nazism" under Article 354.1 of the Criminal Code. The prosecutor demanded 1.5 years in prison, but the sentence was lighter: 1 year and 2 months probation."
Of course, he was also banned from the internet as well.
