Putin's rage crackdown continues. There were more arrests today even though they can't process the over 6,000 arrests over the past 48 hours. This is just one holding cell. People are getting arrested for retweeting, peacefully protesting, etc after a weekend of brutality
What the Kremlin is doing is predictable but outrageous. They are known for human rights crimes, assassinations, invasions of neighbors, yet the West continues to take no actions. What will it take to hold Putin and his regime accountable?
Just one of many many horror stories coming out
"They threatened with a stun gun, put a bag on my head, and started beating me."
Alena Kitaeva, a volunteer at Lyubov Sobol's headquarters, told how she was tortured at night at the Donskoy police station: theins.ru/news/239080
Also a reminder that Covid is still a very big danger in Russia yet these police thugs are cramming police vans and jail cells with people for so many hours w no masks. They are creating a human rights disaster on top of mass human rights crimes

"Senate Intelligence Committee will examine the influence of Russia and other foreign powers on antigovernment extremist groups"
This is so long overdue because the Kremlin has been working w far right extremist groups in US/Europe for over a decade in order to destroy democracy
I'm sure other governments are doing similar but my focus is Russia. Dugin, Malofeev, Rykov and others along w Russian intelligence have been assisting these groups financially and logistically.
Perfect example that I ran across. Three percenters aligning w other militia groups and want to push for Georgia secession. Russia has been courting them for over a decade ajc.com/news/militia-a…
Deputy chief physician for anesthesiology and resuscitation Sergei Maksimishin has died of a heart attack.
He worked in the Omsk hospital where Navalny was taken too after being poisoined
It's very telling that the main Russian state media outlets who avoid mentioning Navalny are reporting this doctor's death while mentioning Navalny was treated there. They are sending a message
Ahead of Navalny's hearing today Putin's thugs have lined up paddy wagons in case of protests. Guess arresting almost 5,800 yesterday wasn't enough. Putin's shitty repressive system can't even handle processing all the arrests.
