MOSCOW -- Russia's overwhelmingly pro-Kremlin lower parliament house approved a bill sharply limiting locations where demonstrations can be held, a move denounced by critics as a threat to democracy.

hmm
that doesnt sound familar at all, does it?

typical Russians.

duh. Russia is socialist. Socialism is one step away from communism. Heck, you've already given up 60% of your freedoms. If you were willing to give up that much, you won't put up much of a fight if they take away the rest.

And to think that the Russians have more freedomes than we do when it comes to peaceful assemblies...... We sure have gone a long way, haven't we?

Under Putin, Russia is slowly becoming more and more autocratic. It's a shame.
