"I'd never be allowed to criticize my rulers like that if I lived in a nation like Russia or China" - I don't know about China but regarding Russia this is bullshit and has always been. I can provide tons of links to the radio and TV shows not to mention websites. Of course one'd have to understand Russian.

Now, after the wave of banning and purging of Russian sites and media by the West (sites no longer accessible, radio and tv permissions yanked and booted from the air, youtubes and twittters purged, etc) a bunch of the ones financed by the West were labeled "foreign agents" after similar laws in the US. As a result a few of them disappeared from the radio, for example. But they still have their sites and youtubes.

As to the critique - there is and has been plenty and on so called "federal" channels no less.

Anyone want to be immediately branded a Putin-loving Russian troll? Easy-peasy. Just link to almost any of Caitlin's more interesting articles in any mainstream discussion forum and it will happen immediately.
