@lesleyhaan116 Depends on what do you define as "freedom".At 2014,people's ability to influence the politics were very limited,thou some anti-putin politicians worked in Russia as deputies,for example,Ilya Yashin was a Chairman of the Council of Deputies of the Krasnoselsky Municipal District (thats in Moscow),Maxim Katz was member of the municipal assembly of the Shchukino district (Moscow too).Freedom of speech,check,but not as much as in Europe,you could realy critic Putin on TV.Freedom of enterprise?Check.Rights of LGBT?The same as in after-Maidan Ukraine.And both Russia and Ukraine are corrupted oligarchies,Russia is oligarchic autocracy,and Ukraine is oligarchic democracy.
If we compare them right now,both have no presidental elections (Ukrainian constitution only says that Rada elections move to the date after peace comes,president still has to be re-elected even in war),both have huge problems with the freedom of speech,even before the war,a case has been opened against the leader of a pro-Russian party,and that woman in Trump's new team whose name i don't remember criticized Ukraine for that.Teachers in Kherson are going in court for not leaving their job in Russia's occupation.I am not saying,that the annexation was good,i'm just saying,that majority of people wanted to be in Russia.
