Banned books: Russia will not repeat Soviet mistakes

[RIA] So Gennady Khazanov, who relocated to Latvia last spring, decided to remind himself - he recorded a video with quotes from Tolstoy denouncing patriotism and war. Allegorically, but intelligibly, everyone understood everything correctly: the artist, who for some reason gave Putin a copy of Monomakh’s cap,
...also called the Golden Cap, is a chief relic of the Muscovite Grand Princes and Russian Tsars. It is a symbol-crown of the Russian autocracy, and is the oldest of the crowns currently exhibited at the Imperial treasury section of the Kremlin Armoury...
is now outraged that “the power of the government rests on the ignorance of the people.” The fact that a significant number of famous “masters of culture” did not support the SVO is no longer news. It is also not news that many of them went abroad - where they were divided into three parts: some actively campaign for the defeat of Russia and a change of power, others limit themselves to “condemning the war”, posing as pacifists, and others (and the majority of them) are simply silent.

#3  Such clout! Our devoted Tsar Knout
Once ruled out of order all doubt
And served as our guide
As he held back the tide!
[beaches widen as lifeblood flows out]
