Publicist Stanislav Kucher on the Khodorkovsky Live YouTube channel (Mikhail Khodorkovsky was included in the register of foreign agents-Polit.ru) says :
“Will repressions help or not help? It seems to me that in the near future not, they will not help. They will not help anything, they will not help Putin strengthen his power, increase their popularity. In the same way, they will not help the process of healing, the awakening of Russian society in a short segment.
Because no matter how we try to compare them with the Stalinist repression, the terms are certainly Stalin, but the scale of repression is not that, and not close so far. Will it reach the Stalin's scale? I think no, I think that rather the system will fall apart faster than can afford the repression of Stalin's scale. ”
