President Putin's monopoly on power is being fought as new laws are starting to really infringe upon the citizens freedom. While there are reports of signing suspensions to nuclear forces the lawmakers passed a new legislation to impact the freedom of speech among the Russians. This freedom will make it illegal to criticize the Russian government and result in jail time. As well Putin released documents stating that military service personnel cannot criticize the government. Although the laws have not been fully passed people in the past have been getting prosecuted for their remarks against the government.
