Pressure Mounts on War Critics in Russia

Pressure is increasing on critics of the war in Russia. Boris Nadezhdin has been deprived of the opportunity to run for parliament, while blogger Ilya Remeslo has been detained. These events are related to Vladimir Putin's crackdown on those who voice opposition to the war. The barriers placed before Nadezhdin's candidacy indicate that dissenting opinions are being severely controlled in the country. Remeslo's detention reflects the ongoing struggle against free expression on the internet.
