    1. @True Tech I wouldent deny that there are problems in russia regarding that but you literally deflate your own argument trying to use wikipedia as a source. Universities don’t let you use wikipedia as a source. The page your reading about on wikipedia can be written and changed by anyone.

    2. @Ben Becic the oxymoron is that you acknowledged that there’s human rights concerns, and then downplayed them because Wikipedia published the information that you can follow up on via its blue colored links.

      If you were a journalist with integrity, you would willingly research from all possible perspectives to make sure that you are not accidentally sweeping vital relevant information under a rug of neglect.

    3. @L M ask various human rights organizations if you want to investigate the problematic concerns about human rights abuses.
