That is a joke worth hearing. Congratulations to anyone capable of writing a joke so good, that it is a crime.

I mean, kind of not really from the sounds of things. It was a joke about a veteran who lost his legs to a landmine running over his foot in the Moscow subway with the skateboard he used for mobility. Not exactly any social benefit from the joke, just a crass ablist jab. Apparently the audience didn’t really appreciate the joke either so I doubt it’s just lost in translation.
Horrendous to be jailed for a joke, but I also don’t think it was a good joke.

But why even delve into the specifics of the joke? He could utter gibberish and slurs and and laugh at the end, none of that deserves any attention from the government whatsoever.

Because the comment I replied to was directly commenting on the quality of the joke?
“Congratulations to anyone capable of writing a joke so good, that it is a crime.”
This is directly saying it’s a good joke. I’m saying it wasn’t a good joke. I also said how bad it is to be arrested for a joke.
I fail to see how this is complicated.

You’re doing god’s work.
I’ve noticed that on the internet, many people can write but they can’t read. Its almost the opposite of slightly knowing a foreign language, where you can understand other people speaking it but aren’t able to speak it yourself.
Sorok Sorokov, a powerful Orthodox nationalist group, said many Russians had not understood that times had changed and that the state should tighten its control over such performances to stem what it called a general decline in moral values.
“In recent years, comedians have often crossed red lines and made jokes about topics that are taboo in any normal society,” said Georgy Soldatov, director of the group’s human rights centre.

Even though Russia pretends it isn’t, it is a country at war. Censorship is pretty normal during wartime.
And making fun of disabled people isn’t okay. Whether the country is at war or not. Maybe not quite not-okay enough for prison. But I can’t say that I’m terribly upset

Russia does a lot of terrible things. Invading countries. Killing POWs and civilians.
Domestically they have assassinated opposition leaders, tortured prisoners to death and persecuted members of the LGBT+ community.
But criminalizing being an asshole? I don’t really care that much.

I’ve seen this one. It’s great. At the same time as a revolution is fomenting he gets out of prison and gets elected president. It’s a classic.
One of the very first targets of Putin, while realizing his power, was a kids show that portrayed Putin himself as a not-so-smart villain. The comical character they made for Putin apparently caused Putin quite some distress.

Ostanin was also convicted of offending the feelings of Christians with another off-colour joke he made about Jesus, which angered Orthodox nationalists.
This is arguably the greater crime. Fuck off religious people, keep that shit to yourself and don’t bother others about it.
Asked by the judge on Wednesday whether he understood his sentence, Ostanin said: “To hell with your judicial practice. No, I don’t.”
This guy is a fucking badass. What a terrible shame. Hope he comes out on the other side in one piece.

Anyone know what Chad equates to in Russia? Vlad?
Vlad is so common that it's more like "John."
