Russian President Vladimir Putin said Monday that “new massive repressions“in Russia, as in Soviet times, were”unacceptable“, as the Kremlin crushes any criticism of the attack in Ukraine.
“When we talk regarding the victims of political repression, we are talking regarding very different people. There are those who, in fact, were opponents of the Soviet system and those who were supporters and found themselves behind bars for various internal political reasons“, did he declare. “There were people there completely by chance. All this is important, but for us, the most important thing is that all this does not happen once more in the history of our country, because it had immense and difficult damage for our people and our State.“, he continued, quoted by the Interfax agency. “Such a lack of rights to decide the fate of people is unacceptable if we want our country to have a future“added Mr. Putin, speaking during a meeting of the Council for Human Rights, an advisory body attached to the Kremlin.
