Do You Dare Leave A Comment?

What's the worst that could happen? Here at The Difference, nobody is even going to give you a screenful of abuse, for this blog has its own voluntary code of conduct and inappropriate comments will not be approved. You might even win a copy of the magazine!

Police raidIn Russia, however, you could find the police knocking on your door. On 15th February, 21-year-old Savva Terentyev left a comment on the blog of his local journalist, Boris Suranov, who had posted about a police raid against the offices of the opposition newspaper Iskra.

Now, the comment was admitted rather lacking in tact and wouldn't have got past this blog's code of conduct. It has since been deleted, but Terentyev allegedly wrote that Russian police are "filth," "the most stupid, uneducated representatives of the living world" and recommended that six police in every city be "ceremonially burned daily, or better twice a day (at midday and midnight, for example)." However, he is now being prosecuted for hate crimes and faces two years in prison or a fine of 300,000 rubles (£5,860).

So, are you scared to express your opinions?  If not, exercise your freedom, and leave a comment!  Not sure how to do so? Then see this beginner's guide.

So, with the Russian Federation one of the 5 permanent members of the UN security council, is it about time we renamed it to something like the UN "Big Boys Council" and removed any doubt that it has less to do with security, and much more to do with allowing each permanent member to do what they wish, whilst ganging up on others they don't like?

Russian police beat and arrested over 200 protestors in St Petersburg on Saturday and Sunday after a peaceful demonstration by The Other Russia coalition calling for free elections when Putin steps down next year. See the Kavkazcenter for more details.

Vladamir Putin ... I dearly hope Russia's government is soon reformed and that the old guard is thrown out!

Great article. Russian police arrested so many people, so it's a bit naive to think that something will be changed. It's a crazy world !!
