You mean corrupted politicians, or those abusing laws to get to the government?

You can always find a way to eliminate an undesirable candidate. E.g. declare that they're "paid by Putin". That's all you need to eliminate the undesirable politician, there are usually exactly zero proofs. Declaring that someone is "pro Putin" is enough.

Actually, the range of methods is slightly wider. E.g. there was a French politician investigating the сase of corruption of Ursula von der Leyen. That politician died from "heart attack" just a few days before the hearing. Ah, that's a "conspiracy theory" and "conspiracy theories" are explicitly forbidden now in several EU countries. Also, very convenient.

Same for comments in the Internet. E.g. if you writing something western people doesn't like on Reddit/Facebook/whatever, the only reaction you'll get will be "you're a Kremlin troll"

No need to think and analyze yourself. There's only one truth in the world and it comes from Bloomberg/CNN/BBC.

I’m from post Soviet space, bot. I first hand witnessed Putin’s regime and impact it had, do you seriously think I’ll buy what you’re selling?

Quote after a question in a meeting with the EU I asked and I was taken aside + my mic was muted:

"You can't ask these questions, or we'll all go to jail."

You can't say things like that and not tell us what the question was.

It had to do with conflict of interest.

Name one who is jailed because the other countries don't like them?

Nobody, because they keep each other out of jail.
