In constitution of Russian Federation article 31 guarantees a right to assemble peacefully.
This is the real story, of how this right was taken away. Hope this will give some clue to what happens in US.
This was 2002, the second year of Putin presidency. There was a soccer game beetween Russian team and Japaneese team on July 9. We loose. Nothing serious, even most zealous soccer fans had no illusions about the quality of national team. So, as usual they rallied through the center of Moscow, chanting and making some chaos. There was a very strange thing before and during game - strong drinks in glass was sold freely to the fans, that never happened before, and never happened after. However, this did not lead to some violent actions. Mob even stop some drunk members from violence to passers. There was some scuffles between fans, but no any harm was done to the surroundings. Until the mob reached Manezhnaya square. There was a giant videowall where some advertising was shown. And just after the mob assembled on square, there began to appear an advertisement with a scene from Big Lebowsky movie, with a man smashing a car with a baseball bat. And even that did not lead to any violence. Only when police began to push the mob out of square, the bottles and rocks began to fly. After that ignition, police intentionally routed the angry mob to streets with shops where looting and fire began. The police suddenly hide in Moscow parliament building leaving streets to angry mob. Even after that the destruction was not fatal. Broken storefronts and only few burned cars. Police made only 9 gunshots to stop the riot. 2 fatalities and 79 wounded.
Immidiately after that, MSM began to forcefully push the agenda about how harmful are non-approved gatherings along with Parliament quickly prepared and approved the law prohibiting any free gatherings without government approvement. Putin signed the law immidiately. This was the fastest law pass ever. Yes, this direclty contradicts constitution, but all suits in constitution court against that law was just declined without comments.
Now we have a constitutional right to assemble peacefully, but ... only after approvement from authorities. Guess, would they approve something they don't like?
Protesters in Capitol make me recall that story.
And so it goes.
:) In Russia, rights was ... be ready your head blow in 1,2,3 ... Communist Party of Russian Federation. They was closer to Respublicans in many aspects, from "Make Russia Great Again" to the conservative view on family and traditions. CPRF was party of industrialists, top managers and directors of large enterprises. CPRF was slightly nationalistic against the immigrants from Middle Asia and Causasus.
Putin and United Russia always was Democrats. United Russia is a party of bureaucracy and soviet socialist politicians quickly changed to democrats on the top of power shift wave. Putin is direct child of democratic reforms in Russia. He was put into presidency directly by Yeltsin who started all reforms. All figures who participated in democratic reforms are still close to Putin.
There is a conspiracy, that Anatoly Chubais is an top NWO officer in Russia. He is the most hated person among Russians. He planned and conduct privatisation of national property equally belonged to all people of Russia in the favor of few oligarchs in 90-s. He was most favorable person for all western diplomats and presented as true messenger of democracy in Russia. Chubais is still near Putin, wealthy and glad.
The first thing Putin did as president was total and cruel supression of any protest against the uncontrolled flow of illegal immigrants with views, values and religion totally different to ones of Russians. That damned "tolerance" and priority of national minorities (especialy with different values) over Russians(Ukrainians, Belorussians, Karels, Tatars, etc.) was his main agenda, and still is. This is completely aligned with an agenda of fighting with "white privileges" in the west democracies.
And one who hide all his wealth in American and European banks and property using family and friends as proxies.
Everything that Russian authorities stole from people was converted to the property in the western countries. They could tell anything to play the game, but the location of their wealth tells everything.
Current situation have nothing similar to Stalin's totalitarism at all. Do you know, that during Stalin era, the smoothbore guns was sold in home depots without any papers at all, just like spades or hammers? Stalin did not afraid people. He was ultimately cruel tyrant, but he was not a coward. Also, he personally own nearly nothing. He does not make favors for his relatives. He was pure totalitarian idealist, who tried to build a strong empire at any cost. And Stalin was not dumb.
Current Russia's political structure is much closer to China, but with corruption and total theft of all national property in favor of authorities, who follow NWO narrative and hide their wealth on the west.
