The newspaper was the only organ in the republic to oppose violations of human rights in Kalmykia. Real life is based not on federal laws but on these conditions. Each Russian region applies the law at its own will. This is not the case, for example, in the USA or Poland. Freedom of speech, like all human freedoms, is a very fragile flower.
Society needs to nurture it constantly.
This fragile flower cannot grow on its own. If left to do so, democratic freedoms will gradually slide into an authoritarian regime and dictatorship. Society must continually strive to strengthen freedom and democracy. In this confrontation, we are clearly not on equal footing. We need a complete and cohesive system of human rights in order to defend ourselves against that bureaucracy.
