Russia is actually overall pretty good on historical revisionism, Jürgen Graf was sentenced to 2 years in jail and lost his acdemic position in Switzerland for holocaust revisionism, but he has faced relatively little problems in Russia. It is one of the safest white countries for historical revisionism, Germarr Rudolf has been threatened with deportation many times in the US and his recent criminal charge seems politically motivated.

I don't think people should be charged for wrongthink, Tesak (who was basically the russian version of Andew Anglin) and Dmitry Bobrov, was charged under article 282, their are many others.

Russian regime is definitely more based then all current majority white countries. And Putin is much better then Navalny (who also supports punishing nationalists and is just a grifter). I Disagree that he is a real patriot or nationalist.

I'm confused now because earlier you were claiming Putin was unpatriotic because of his bans on certain literature -- bans which were enacted during the disastrous experiment with liberal 'democracy' before his tenure -- and now you're saying that the country is actually sympathetic to revisionism.

I don't think people should be charged for wrongthink, Tesak (who was basically the russian version of Andew Anglin)

Nor do I but honestly if I was in charge I wouldn't be a free speech absolutist -- far from it in fact.

So Putin isn't a patriot because Tesak -- a pretty volatile and unruly fellow in his life -- was jailed? Was Tesak a patriot or was he just another goofy sieg heiling, publicity seeking bore who did nothing for Russian people? Why is he a person I should respect or worry about? (Genuine question as well I know very little about him.)
