A U.N. expert has reported that Russia is reintroducing elements of its past, including coercive psychiatric treatment, to curb dissent and anti-war sentiment. This move represents a shift away from more open forms of political expression. The expert highlighted the use of these tactics as a means of maintaining control and suppressing opposition within the country. The actions are being viewed by international observers as a potential escalation in the Kremlin’s approach to managing public discontent. No specific details regarding the implementation remain publicly available.
