Putin: In Russia they are not pursued for politics
Russian President Vladimir Putin said that no one was putting in prison in Russia for political views, but it is impossible to perform actions that violate the law. “We don’t have enough and does not put for thoughts, for a position, for political views, and we will never accept this. We will never return to that terrible past when the persecution of Sinyavsky was or Pasternak,” Putin said, speaking at the Russian literary assembly.
