Russians have sensitive feelings

“Russian lawmakers have passed legislation that will allow authorities to block websites that publish defamatory information against public figures.

“A recent report found that Internet censorship in Russia has skyrocketed last year. An average of 244 websites were blocked every day in 2017, while courts handed down prison sentences related to Internet censorship every eight days, the Agora international human rights group said in February.”

(I mentioned to my wife today, “I think Russians are bipolar.” But, maybe there is a reason. Sometimes it seems God has a case of the angries against Russia. Almost as much as against Germany. Tsars, Stalin, gulags, purges and etc. Kaisers, Hitler, death camps and etc. Churchill said the Russian is a fine man until he tucks in his shirt. The Germans, Churchill said, are either at your feet or at your throat.)
