In neo-Soviet Russia, public figures make fun of you

In neo-Soviet Russia, public figures make fun of you

"Russia’s three-year-old media agency/Internet censor Roskomnadzor, which made it illegal to publish any Internet meme that depicts a public figure in a way that has nothing to do with his 'personality.'

Sad Keanu? Nope.

Sad Putin? Absolutely not.

Just last August, Russia enacted a law that forced all bloggers with more than 3,000 daily readers to register with the Roskomnadzor, basically outlawing anonymous blogs. Earlier in the year, Russia approved a law that lets Roskomnadzor unilaterally block Web sites without explanation; the sites of prominent Putin critics were among the first to go dark."
