RUSSIA pisses on Free Speech

[PK1]

Director of Ukrainian library in Moscow detained for 'extremism'

The 58-year-old library head faces jail for storing books written by a Ukrainian nationalist writer, in a case denounced as political persecution.

Authorities in Moscow have detained the 58-year-old director of a well-known Ukrainian library for "inciting hatred" after a raid allegedly turned up "anti-Russian propaganda".

Ms Sharina is accused of inciting ethnic hatred by allowing the library to store books written by a Ukrainian journalist, Dmitry Korchinsky, who is known for his staunch nationalist views and active participation in the protests that saw Kremlin-backed Viktor Yanukovych overthrown as president in 2014.

Russia’s Sova Centre, which monitors racism and xenophobia, issued a statement late on Wednesday condemning the “unlawful persecution” of Ms Sharina, saying the library was doing exactly what it is expected to do: storing books.

Were you perhaps under the mistaken belief that Russia had a first amendment?

 

[pismoe]

thing is that the USA is the only country on earth that ever had Free Speech and even that is slowly being eroded . American style Free Speech was , is the model for Free Speech . I finally realized this fact by visiting overseas message boards , mostly English and reading comments and asking questions .

[Bleipriester]

While the Nazis murder and plunder, some have nothing to do but to blame Russia...

...even in the Canada forum.

 

[Igrok_]

Yeah, how is this thread connected to Canada subject? Yes, Russia pisses on western values over 1000 years, is this a new thing for you? And still lives and feels good itself.

I support FREE SPEECH anywhere in the world. Don't you?
You can criticize the US and its President all you want, and you can tout the superiority of Russia or Ukraine or Syria all you want (ha ha), and you won't have gov thugs arresting you and planting "evidence" to muzzle your speech ... in the Western civilized world!

An Oct 31 update on Putin's style of justice ...
Tatyana, an employee, said she had personally seen investigators plant banned books in the library the day before the raid. “They brought books with them which were included on the list of extremist literature,” she told Reuters. “I saw it. The books they brought did not have our stamp inside them. They planted these books.”

You can criticize the US and its President all you want,
.

I will repeat a question.
I can go to Afghanistan, kill there some Americans, then arrive to New York and urge to kill Americans?

Concerning "freedom of speech".

Words aren't important. The opinion is important.
And the opinion of people receives from information.

And Americans take an ifnormation from where?
From news.
News lie.

And what value of such opinion?
The zero.

Yes, I agree -- News articles sometimes lie, and are used as propaganda when controlled by the government, as in Russia.

In the Western world, we have independent newspapers reflective of free speech. In Russia, the speech is controlled by Putin's loyal assholes, like in most of the Arab world.

Independent from what? Consider, not from money and business interests. In Russia there are some not pro-government newspapers. For example Vedomosti, Kommersant, Novaya Gazeta. But it doesn't mean a lot, cause all who wants could go to the sites of New York Times, CNN, Fox News and read the same opinions, the western people do. Also there is BBC in russian, The Moscow Times...

.

A very good example of independent newspapers .
Who told you that?
Independent newspapers?
Have you checked?

I even wonder . On the main site of RT is a reference to the Western press . Show me something like that in your independent press .

You missed the question

I will repeat a question.

Sure , I hope that innocent people in other countries should enjoy Free Speech . That being said , what do you want me to do about it PK1 ??

 

[pismoe]

seems to me that for the last 10 years or so that BBC is one of the better news sources . Pains me to say it but USA seems to have terrible media and news reporting . Best sources come from overseas and internet news sites imo !!

 

[tinydancer]

How many know that the current President of the Ukraine Poroshenko BRAGS that his channel 5 in Kiev directed the ebb and flow of the overthrow of the government?

 

[tinydancer]

How many know that Hillary Clinton's biggest Ukrainian donor Pinchuk owns Ukrainian media as well?
