But, if you think that, for example, prohibition of porn movies on public channels empedes the free speech, then yes, there is no absolute freedom in Russia. Absolute freedom = anarchy, that in fact, existed during the Yeltsin time.
you're missing my point. I am talking about the democratic practices. You can claim a lot of advancements russia encountered after Putin and I will agree with you, but we both cannot claim it has real opposition that has power OVER the president. Russian president has power over everyone, and every institution.

and no, i do not watch Fox. Hearing the word "Fox News" drops my IQ like 30 points, just by hearing the name!
