    There's some missing context here about Ivan Golunov, shown at 0:39. His case on drug charges was *100% fabricated* after he wrote articles exposing corruption in Russian society. One of them was about the Moscow Mayor's office, another about the FSB (successor of the KGB). There was so much public outcry after his arrest that the case was dropped after only 4 days and he was released. Later 5 cops who had planted and faked evidence were sentenced to pay him 1M rubles each (~$13,600). None of the people who actually planned this operation ever got in trouble, of course.

Do your self a big favor, if you smoke STOP now, if you haven't tried smoking-do NOT start.

    The problem is they built such system here (in Russia) when judges are not elected and not getting punishment for crimes against justice. And they just issue indictments. The rate of acquittals is 0.2%. And sad irony is judges and prosecutors constantly degrade in the field of law (because of impunity), and often can't even follow anti-constitutional laws - their weapon is lawlessness.

      They are not real judges, only do what they are told and what brings them money and power. It is way worse than during the Soviet period. During socialism our judges would of course do whatever they were told as well, so if you were anti-communist or political activist or whatever, you went to jail even if you did not do anything, but at least the judges did not work for mafia and some regional strongmen.

You can't yell "fire" in a crowded space or specifically threaten an individual with physical harm or death. And even if you do threaten an individual directly it has to be proven to be proven to be credible. The effects in the court of public opinion or by an employer is a completely different matter.

      In recent days the headlines are focused on how much the PM should party at her free time. Media speculates if someone at background at party shouts something about drugs or just about booze. Some politicians calls to get PM drug tested and some tell that they used to party too when they were young. (This also on state media.)

    Tomorrow will be 54 years since Russian tanks invaded Czechoslovakia. At least 108 civilians were shot in the streets by the "liberators" when protesting or just standing by. At that time it wasn't Nazis but contra revolution they came to "save us" from. Most people did not even know what contra revolution was. The "special operation" lasted for 23 years. Maybe you could ask Russians if they've ever heard of what their country has done to us?

      The occupiers destroyed a peaceful, well established liberal democracy already in 1948, then found some Stalinist henchmen to do the dirty work. The rape of Czechoslovakia was the final straw for why my country, Norway, became a founding Nato member, under the leadership of the once very radical Labour party. Small nations can’t defend freedom and democracy on their own. Even if the alliance partners themself got a chequered history. BTW, when the Spring of 1968 was crushed by the Kremlin criminals, the whole radical left up here finally lost all hope that the USSR had any solutions to offer. Sadly, some of them thought Mao had better ideas! ;-)

    Greetings from Latvia :) It was kind of unexpected to see you interviewing here. As a local I want to share my opinion with you about this question. Overall I think that is possible that you can be arrested or smth like that if you crossed some politician road, but it all depends what percent of people from population of country can be arrested like this. Here in Latvia, Riga I've literally have not heard about such situations, but also you should remember that here journalism is not such developed as it is in Russia. I mean some opposition media etc. So because of that it can be situation that such arrests happens, but no one knows about that. Overall I've never heard about such situation in my circle of friends or family (or somewhere from local media or internet). They all have different opinions about our government, but no one has ever had such problems as it was described in a video. So I think here it is closer to impossible that somewhere in Russia.

    • @Sourusophyexe

      It's hilarious how liberals in this video will be like "omg putler is absolute evil, it only happens in Russia". Meanwhile, if they thought farther (beyond ideology) then they would see it happens in almost every country in the world - maybe besides some liberal-socdem countries eg. nordic countries, Germany, etc. - but you get censored in many other ways and you can get easily penalized, if you speak against establishment or current establishment narration. Like you deny the holokaust or something like that. Currently it's saying something like "Putin good" or saying something against Ukraine (like Azovites or Bandera, which killed minorities like Jews and Polish people).
      If you say something like "Putin good" in my country (Poland) then you literally can and will be trialed for something (they will make up some "promoting radical ideology" or "threatening public safety") and in some cases maybe even treason (because it gets you higher sentence).
      It will happen in most countries, because they do not represent the people. You would need People's Government based on People's Republic like in China or other countries. So you either can get "arrested for nothing" (eastern countries, arabic, etc.) or "for hate speech" (western liberal countries). Hopefully USSR 2.0 is coming back to Russia and seeing how Putin (Russian centrist btw) penalized CPRF which gains popularity in Russian population, yeah.
      There is even one guy "Zbigniew Stonoga", which had like 140 acquittal cases and they keep throwing more shit at him in hopes of something sticking or in hopes of mentally and physically wearing him out by wasting his time through summoning him to court (and not allowing him to leave the country). And Poland is disgusting lapdog of USA and they represent their interest, but it's exactly how they want it.

I've just only mentioned that such things is kind of easy to track in Baltic countries, because of count of people.

That statistics that you mentioned may be about freedom of journalism overall, but there is no separate media that truly shows of opposition. Maybe it is because of the society is not so divided (what I can't really say, because here in Latvia we have a lot of people who really want to bring back USSR). But what I was trying to say. In Russia you can find a lot of media that try to show different view, when in Latvia it is not.
      P.S. Such big Russian medias as "Meduza" and "Дождь" now works from Latvia. So that can be also the point why Latvia ranks higher in your mentioned top.

    It’s been a while and I thought something had happened to you guys. Clearly still choosing your drinks wisely. I like the same question dual country format. In the UK you can say and do whatever you like if anything the police here are arguably too soft. The reality is that in the developed democracies of the western world citizens have nothing to really fear from governments as the free press and rule of law is strong. Really the separation between the judiciary and government. In the UK the armed forces ultimately swear loyalty to the queen and not the prime minister which also helps. In some countries in NATO like Turkey those freedoms I don’t think are anywhere near as guaranteed. That said it’s clear that Russia is up there with China and N Korea as the kind of dystopian future mankind needs to avoid.

    Man. It's an interesting topic. Here in Mexico, recently there are informs that a lot of people in jail (I remember heard that more than 30% of the jail population) is not guilty (but not innocent) or had issues with their trial, or there are stupid things with their "crimes".
    Also, the state is terrifying in some places.
    Some examples:
    1) A gay uncle was with my grandmother in the subway, a group of persons accused him for touching a minor girl, the little girl was forced by their family to declare that without proofs, then my uncle was tortured (suffocated and his hair was burnt) by mexican police in order to declare himself as guilty. He stood in the jail for few months for lack of proofs.
    2) Another uncle was in jail cause he beat a guy who was beating his girlfriend smashing her face into the street. When my uncle was smacking that guy, the girl defend his boyfriend and, with her face spitting blood, acuses my uncle of violence. My uncle was in jail for almost a year.
    3) A cousin during his high school, was taken by some guy who put a knife on his neck. He beat the robber so bad that the police though it was him the robber. Multiple officers leave the real robber and tried to put my cousin in the police car. An old lady save my cousing beating the police and explaining the truth
    4) In front of my house, a garbage guy (he was minor), was smoking mari**na pacefully. A mexican Karen call the police cuz she was affraid of the garbage teenager. Then, 4 patrols, 2 motorcicles, and 1 pick up, came for this minor.
    5) The mother of a friend was in jail some years for sopporting in her youth the communist party in Mexico. They accused her for ter**rism
    6) The man lover of a past president was putting into jail for false accusations and was ra**ed in that time
    7) A few years ago, a mexican teenager vacationist, was taken in the Riviera Maya for polices for uknown reasons, then his family found his body ra**ed and then died by internal hemorrhages in their intestine... yep: the tourist paradise sometimes is the mexican hell. In the jail videos, the teen was unconscious, and even in this state, was beaten inside the jail by the police
    8) Few years ago, a high school mexican guy was taken by police from Mexico City, he dissapear and then was found with mental illness and with tort**red signals. The blood analisys found we has intoxicated with meds and plants so that he would forget what he saw
    9) The most famous case where 43 rural students where taken by the police during a protest, cuz they burnt a bus full with drugs (they didin't knew that) belonging to a mexican cartel called Guerreros Unidos. The Mayor of that town (Iguala, Guerrero) ordered the police to take those students and handed to the mexican cartel. The guys were tort**red, one was skin**ed alive. The former goverment hide everything and invented a history called "La verdad histórica" (the historical truth), cuz there were a lot of things involved: massive corruption in the current county, the drug load belonging to the mayor, the army knew what happened but a high hierarchy generals ordered the slaugh**ter, high public officers (some arrested in the past months) ordered torture and altered the scene for creating a fake case, Israel sold spy software to the mexican government for spy the ones who wanted to know the truth. In other words, that police, drug cartels, army, public officers, and big guys in goverment, are part of the same structure, and that some states are completely out of control of the state.
    For that reasons and more, I have afraid of the state and their police. I yep, nobody asked for this topic :')

Things like "Fuck, this stuff makes you feel so good" (followed by panic by the people being filmed, trying to prevent filming and making "lalalalala" noises to cover what was said) "Hey guys come test with me" "Come test this" heard off-camera.
      And the worst, the part where person right next to our PM shouts "Powder gang" although it's not really clear if that's what she shouted, because of background noise. However audio experts consulted by newspaper have confirmed she was shouting powder gang, powder means cocaine or amphetamine in Finnish drug slang. Basically she shouts "cocaine gang" and then there's nervous laughter after it. Although there's some differing opinions among top audio experts, about what was actually said. There's also a woman who has a runny nose, which she tries to cover with her hand, a symptom of snorting cocaine. Actually the same woman has taken many publicity photos of the PM.
      This is not about dancing, Finns don't give a fuck about dancing or drinking, we are heavy drinkers. Marin has been drinking and partying before, nobody cared. This time however, it seems her friends might be doing cocaine (they are culture people, influencers, just the kind of people who could) and that's bad enough for her career to end, even if she didn't snort any.
      Anyway, there's no rock hard evidence about the cocaine, it just seems more likely than not. So she might get off the hook, if the drug test is clean. Because of her general popularity, saying she didn't know everyone there and handling some other things well, like NATO application and the pandemic. It's so stupid how foreigners think it's a scandal because of some stupid dance, you don't understand the language so you can't do the detective work that our media did, by slowing down audio, removing background noise with computer algorithms to hear what was said etc... They tried to dig the truth up, there was no full consensus, but it leans towards "cocaine gang".
      Personally I'm 100% sure they did cocaine there, and our PM should resign, even if she didn't touch it. She was aware. It's a hard drug, and very much illegal in Finland. Not to mention, produced unethically in S-America, by cartels who routinely murder people. In addition, later footage popped up where a famous musician was kissing her in a bar, even when she's married with a 4-year-old daughter. She didn't kiss back, pushed him away in a friendly manner, but kept dancing and holding him. Claiming it was a friend.
      However it doesn't look good, she parties too much, with the wrong kind of people. The popularity has gotten to her head. PM should be able to respond to a crisis 24/7. Several emergencies have happend right in the middle of night, like the sinking of Estonia where 800 died and other severe logistics related tragedies or natural catastrophes. PM needs to be able to respond with 5 minute warning time, even if she was sleeping

    I'd like to tell you that nobody is unjustly imprisoned in America, my country.
    Sadly, I can't say it never happens.
    What I can say is it's rare, it's considered corrupt, and it's illegal.
    We have an independent judiciary. That means the courts don't work for law enforcement, they work to find truth and often find people who've been arrested to be innocent. Some times they are found to not have committed the crime they are charged with and sometimes law enforcement makes a mistake that causes their case to be thrown out. Sometimes, of course, the person charged with the crime is found guilty and is punished.
    But there is corruption and some judges and police are corrupt. That's where our free press can be important.
    Here is how the constitution of the United States begins:
    _We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America._
    We aren't a perfect union. We're not a perfect people.
    But with our cherished freedoms the majority of Americans who are good people will always strive toward that goal.

Doesn't everybody who's renting fully pay off a 99 year lease, up front?

I don't know if this is somebody's joke or a serious effort by the Russian government, but there's a campaign encouraging people to move to Russia. Head on down to the Russian embassy, they'd welcome you with open arms.
      *"Thinking that somewhere is much worse like on comment above is way to degradation."*
      You're right, saying the United States is better than Russia and China is faint praise. My point is that there are three countries with the power to move the world right now. I look forward to the European Union becoming the fourth someday. I threw in North Korea because, North Korea.
