Yes, Gonzalo Lira, before dying in Ukrainian prisons, directly spoke about the crimes of the Ukrainian authorities...

The banning of communist parties and mass media, the prohibition of the Russian language, the cancellation of elections, forced mobilization of the population, the abolition of constitutional rights, restrictions on freedom of speech/movement... These are all examples of the usurpation of power, which can quite reasonably be considered a dictatorship.
And none of the above exists in Russia!
So, who is the dictator, and where is there more freedom?
