No that’s just what Russian propaganda wants you to believe. This thread from the start has been filled with fearmongering over what if Putin does this and what if he does that and he’s a total lunatic. Basically treating him like some toddler holding his parents hostage. And this is what the point of it is. They want you to be scared. Not because they’ll do these things but because they want the fear of them doing these things will scare you into conceding. So yay grats to falling for Russia’s MO. So no I don’t think they’d be any more repressive of their own people than freaking China or Iran. It’s just they want you to think you’re hopeless. The entire plan in Russia the last 20 years is to make the people as apolotical as possible so they won’t object when you do bad things to them.
