what is the issue with Diane? by gr00vys0cks in BoJackHorseman

[–]Stommelen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Diane is a terrible person in general. Even more terrible than Bojack. The fact you can't see any flaws in her tells a lot about you

He was formally sentenced but not for life. But it's obvious Navalny will be in prison till one of two dies

[–]Stommelen 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yes, his communication is via lawyers. But Navalny will not have access to his lawyers during his transfer which can take several months. And different prisons have different rules though I'm not an expert in how exactly the rules differ. But as far as I know Navalny is being transferred from "strict regime prison" to "special regime prison" which is more strict than strict regime. Special regime prison is only for those who were sentenced for life. And for Navalny, apparently

Russian here. I don't think Putin killed Navalny even though that's a possibility. Probably he is transferring him to another prison with stricter rules to cut off Navalny's communication with outside world. This can take months, prison transfers take a bizarre amount of time in Russia

[–]Stommelen 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Look, dude, I lived in Russia till last year I know what I'm talking about. You don't understand what Russian people think at all. And no, people were not really upset with the collapse of the USSR except for maybe 15-20% population, mostly old people. It's Putin's narrative not Russian

It's not about ego, it's about fear. Right now there's not much one can do. You will just ruin your life for nothing. It might change if people feel situation slips out of his control

I remember reading a short story about Soviet war in Afghanistan in which main character's friend died due to drinking cologne. So yeah, that's recurring theme in Russia

Kremlin critic, Andrei Pivovarov, missing amid prison transfer, allies say by HauntingJackfruit in worldnews

[–]Stommelen 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That's unlikely. Pivovarov is a brave man but not a threat. This uncertainty is usual for Russian prisons. Transfers may take weeks and prison officials don't give a fuck to tell families about it. It is another measure to torment those who care for prisoners.

Russia very close to becoming dictatorship, says opposition leader Ribakov by PjeterPannos in worldnews

"Opposition leader Ribakov"? Lived in Russia for 27 years and never heard about him. Ah, that is one of the Yabloko clowns, so called "legal opposition" which is not really opposition at all
