How typical. Yes, Russia formally has freedom of speech. With zero results. This young woman stands on the Bolotnaya Square in the very center of Moscow, and shouts, for about half an hour, demanding to free political prisoners and to stop violating the constitution. And look at this crowd. They treat her as if she were a nuisance. The broad-shouldered man in a light-blue T shirt says, lets remove her from here; I came here for sight-seeing, and she is on my way. Other guys say, hey, you are an idiot and a whore. Why are you lying to us? There are no political prisoners in Russia. A stout woman at the very end of the clip makes the sign of the cross and says, look at her, look how she is afraid of the Cross, how she is afraid of me, how she is afraid of everything! Silly looking young girls make pictures of the brave speaker and giggle. Nothing changed since the 1820s, when Alexander Pushkin wrote, The cattle do not need the gift of freedom. Their mission is to be slaughtered or shorn. They need a yoke with funny-sounding little bells, and a whip.
