Russia has become politically unfree. This is the main thing that has happened to the country recently. This opinion is expressed today in Kommersant by Andrei Illarionov, former adviser to the President of the Russian Federation on economic issues. Continuing his denunciation of the current government, Illarionov, who is familiar with its methods first-hand, notes: “Unfreedom is needed to incite hatred - social, external, internal. This is a monopoly on power, political, economic, informational. Decomposition of morality and degradation of national consciousness."
