Russia is turning into the federal version of Soviet Union. This is what Statism does.

niah stalin would have bombed the church while the Pussy Protest was still on

[Soviet Russia Republic]

Yes, they could. They'll likely not get seven years.

Fortunately, Putin's Russia isn't representative of modern states; but I guess you wish that it was as you're apparently anti-statist.

[Krasny-Volny]

The OP has one post - this one. They haven't altered their default flag.

This fits in perfectly with my theory that the NSG forum is spawning puppet nations for posting topics that it must always have in plentiful number.

[Costa Fiero]

Nah, they'll probably end up in one of the gulags rehabilitation facilities in Siberia.

Statism, not Stalinism.

Still, Melas' post is more fitting.

russia is all kinds of messed up right now and certainly isnt even close to a liberal democracy, thing is russia is still as religious as the southern states of the USA and parts of the middle east, people in russia are in fairly large numbers against the protestors for doing it in a church

Yeah, I think that protesting in a church is counter-productive for their cause, giving Putin an excuse.

I think he was referring to your reference to the Soviet Union.

[Vistulange]

Let's face it. Some polls did show that about 50% of the Russian population did indeed want another Stalin, so why wouldn't they vote in an autocratic guy like Putin? Sure, he's autocratic, and quite harsh against opponents, but he's quite good at what he does. Or so I believe.

EDIT: Yes, I know Stalin wasn't autocratic, he was totalitarian. I get that. But you simply don't have totalitarianism today, except in the DPRK.

Russia, Y U NO human rights?

I'm afraid that people are well and truly overreacting to this.

While it has been painted that they were arrested for protesting, in actuality the charge is hooliganism.

What have they done? Well, they trespassed, and they were being disorderly in a place where they had no right to be disorderly. This is a group who also have a history of similar actions (such as stealing chickens from the supermarket and placing it up their genitalia).

In any country they would be arrested for this, it's just that because they're an anti-Putin group, they've been portrayed as an anti-Putin protest who were arrested for political reasons- which absolutely wasn't the case.

Some people may claim that 7 years is too harsh a penalty, and while those people are entitled to their opinions, I for one support harsh sentencing and measures to straighten out disorderly youths.

Protesting against Putin is fine.

Creating public chaos and trespassing on private property in order to do so is not.

If I started playing a lute in my friends house when he didn't want me to. Do I deserve a decade behind bars, hooliganism indeed. Your entire argument is based on the fact that they haven't hit thirty yet, this obviously doesn't make their opinions any less relevant as you may have noticed.

and lastly seven years behind bars can turn you into a hardcore criminal, why would you want your precious 'disorderly youth' leave worse then they were when they went in. In which time they will not be contributing to society, and will not when they are released because let's face, what would they owe the society that destroyed their lives.

Give me a counter-argument, I'm bored.

Hooliganism or not, I don't think this calls for 7 years.

Shh! That's because the OP doesn't want someone knocking on his door the next morning with weapon at hand.

I hope they are sentenced to the full seven years for so disrespectful an attack on the church, and the president.

What's the problem with criticism of the president?

This was done in a disrespectful manner.

And?

[Costa Fiero]

Criticism is usually not respectful of the person in question. I've heard people (misguidedly) liken our Prime Minister to Hitler and some other things. People in public have done the same thing and they aren't in a courtroom on charges.
