minus-squarevacuumflower@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8arrow-down1·14 days agoNothing more Russian than police giving someone their database for a bribe. And it’s even more Russian that police then pays for convenient service to someone who’s bribed enough policemen to assemble enough data. It’s a common banality to say that Russian culture is somehow deeply authoritarian, but actually it’s suppressed anarcho-capitalism all around. LOL. (And it makes perfect sense that Ukrainian special services are working the same way. Shouldn’t have invaded such a similar country.)
