Well yes, in theory. But we talk about russia. Its population has been largely kept with servitude mindset for... in fact since they abolished serfdom, which in russia I was told by my history teachers was often same/worse as outright slavery elsewhere. So effectively for very, very long time.

Dictators don't like when population thinks they have some universal rights, next thing they will start asking for them en masse and who knows what will be outlandish next, like tackling corruption and oligarchs who stand above the law? Common citizens are an afterthought, state is built to primarily cater to needs and whims of its paranoid greedy leaders.

Its important for people like me, who passionately hate war russia is waging on Ukraine and its perpetrator, to be reminded that there are tons of good folks behind that wall of arrogance, stupidity and aggressivity. Pity they mostly feel like they can't change anything so they prefer drowning their despair in vodka and trying to look elsewhere. Maybe more digital age will eventually give them some wake up call, there is always hope even in darkest places and darkest moments.

How do you get justice when the law enforcement is corrupt? You must first solve the corruption, which is a tough nut to crack.
