Russian Day: Volunteers told why they don't celebrate this day

It is another scenery for a regime that has distorted the idea of ​​independence," the participants of the Freedom of Russia are convinced. In their view, when the declaration was adopted, the country's path to freedom and the rule of law was chosen, but now the current Russian authorities "hates everything that was alive in this date. " "Under hymns and salutes - thousands of arrested. For flags and concerts - torture, repression and murder.

Under the speeches from the stands - economic isolation, poverty, abandoned regions and war," the conscious Russians are convinced. In their view, the authorities have now seized Russia. And now the country cannot be called sovereign, because its fate is decided by killers from the Kremlin, whom the common people did not choose. Russia is not free because people are forced to leave the country because they are in prison. Modern Russia depends on Iran, China and oil.

"Today's Russia is a fake" - this is how the movement participants consider. In their view, the country has become a punitive machine where corruption prevails. But at the same time, they want to remind everyone that Russia is still alive. She lives in protests, in independent journalists, in fighters, all those who are not silent.

Despite the fact that "ugly scenery" power wants to give for the reality, the movement "Freedom of Russia" reminds that independence is not labels, official holidays or parades. This is something that cannot be taken away while there are those who stand for the truth. Movement participants fight to not allow the regime to destroy the memory of true freedom. "Russia is not equal to the regime. Russia is not Putin," they are convinced.
