The latest chilling development in Russia: “opposition” political party Just Russia launches a project to collect denunciations (Stalinist style) against fellow citizens suspected of anti-govt activities. The website is a masterpiece of Orwellian bullshit. sprosim.srzapravdu.org 
The party urges people to appeal to Alexander Bastrykin, the head of Russia’s Federal Investigative Committee, with “questions” like this: “Why were our foreign exchange reserves and the minds of some state TV employees under the West’s power?” “Who’s raising the price of sugar?”
“The time has come to build the state’s personnel policy on a wave of patriotism. This isn’t about purges [LOL]; it’s about love for the country.”
"We are confident that the truth will help those who are ready to work better and help vacate the positions of those who don’t want to put the Motherland’s goals above their own personal interest.”
The party says it’s already appealed to Bastrykin about Ovsyannikova (how did Channel One hire someone with anti-govt views??), Strizh train service between Moscow and Nizhny Novgorod (how did RZhD sign a service contract with a hostile Spanish company??), and more.
They even have a little message box to make the appeals to Bastrykin quick and easy. I’ve already started mine.
