The Effects Of Russia’s Burgeoning Totalitarianism On Its Military And Economy
In another push to move Russia closer to full totalitarianism, last week, both houses of Russia’s parliament approved amendments to a law regarding military registration and service, The Bell reported. The amendments will give an electronic summons the same power as traditional call-up papers for service. Parliament also approved further major restrictions on individual constitutional rights, including implementing restrictions on foreign travel, in an effort to prevent people from dodging compulsory military service. These latest amendments indicate that Moscow shows no signs of slowing its aggression not only toward other countries but even its own citizens.
