Putin's never-ending quest for repression - Eastern Express - TVP WORLD



Since 2022, Russia has built an extensive legal framework to suppress dissent, control information, and reshape public life.

This episode examines how wartime censorship laws evolved into a broader system of repression affecting media, protests, and even online behavior.

We break down the role of the State Duma in formalizing these changes and why its actions still matter. The latest law enabling troop deployments abroad is not an outlier, but part of a wider pattern.

Watch to understand how legal tools are being used to consolidate power in modern Russia.
