I've been watching a Ruski YT channel where an odd young guy walks around and interviews Russians about politics and social issues and while a lot of people are very much aware they're living in a very censored and oppressive society, a disturbing number of them, both old and young still believe that they have freedom of press and freedom of speech. Not surprising at all, but still crazy to see.

I'm also very worried for the guy, I think it's only a matter of time he gets locked up.
