In a not unexpected move, the Russian government has outlawed news outlet Meduza.

Anybody inside Russia who reads Meduza, writes about Meduza, talks about Meduza or who has contacts with anybody who does so, is now automatically a criminal, and could be punished with up to 4 years in prison.

To conclude, just a quote taken from Everything Flows, by Vasili Grossman:

I too was influenced by it, I was just a young woman, and you heard it at meetings, at special instruction gatherings, on the radio and in the movie theatre, and from the writers, and by Stalin himself, always the same: the kulaks were parasites, they burned the grain and kill children. It was said directly: we have to raise the anger of the masses against those damn kulaks and destroy their whole class. I too became bewitched, I too thought: everything is to blame on the kulaks, and once they are destroyed, there will be better times for the peasants. You shouldn't feel pity for them, they weren't humans, but god knows which creatures.
