Evidence for what is claimed, namely that "Russia jails people for calling the special operation a war". I understand that this is the one thing that Russia critics can't prove.
Do note that Russia has not even threatened to arrest people for doing that. You can compare this to Germany, that totally democratic and free country which threatened to arrest people for using the letter 'Z".
That's the thing, they have been jailing people for sharing information that is not government approved, and that means even having a card written "War"
You keep claiming that, but you haven't given even a single example.
What would you consider acceptable as evidence.
Questioning the narrative that Russia is peddling and getting jailed for it? (evidence provided)
Or just literally saying "war" instead of "special operation"?

"No to the war" is not calling it a war, it is opposition to the war.
Differing from the regime on war can get you arrested, in both Germany and Russia.
Oh, and 170 euros? Ukrainians would be so lucky. The corrupt West is so desperate to portray Russia as some sort of hellish country, it's laughable.
