Russia had more internet freedom than other nations, in particular the United States.
Internet in Russia freer than in US, claims top Kremlin official
The deputy head of the presidential administration, Vyacheslav Volodin, has said that Russia has more internet freedom than the United States, where people receive prison sentences for online comments about President Barack Obama.
Volodin was giving a press conference in the central Russian city of Tambov, where a local reporter asked him to comment on the possibility of introducing a rule that would require social networks to obtain ID from their users “so that people could know who is on the other side of the internet.” The official replied that unlike many countries, Russia has chosen self-regulation on the internet and he saw no need to change this.
“Now we are capable of solving various issues through self-regulation and a ban on distribution of information about illegal drugs, suicide and extremism. Society has a need for this.”
He also noted that Russia had more internet freedom than other nations, in particular the United States.
“Take a look at the legal practice. Have you ever heard about the legal proceedings initiated by [Russian] civil servants and senior officials against ordinary internet users over even the most harsh statements made on the internet?” Volodin asked journalists.
A woman in the audience answered that a man had once attempted to sue her for dissemination of discrediting materials about him on the internet, but failed as police and prosecutors refused to recognize her material as unlawful. “You can see that prosecutors protect you. And if you take a look at the US statistics, even over the past six months, you will see that several people there received prison sentences between 12 and 18 months for their posts about President Obama,” Volodin told journalists.
“Ask yourselves – who has more democracy – us or them?” he concluded.
The official did not specify which legal cases he was talking about, but this could be the arrest of John Martin Roos – a 61-year-old Wisconsin man who was detained in April this year for threatening the US president on social media. Police also found weapons and several pipe bombs as they searched Roos’ home. He has not yet been sentenced. In 2013, Donte Jamar Sims from Florida was sentenced to six months in prison plus one year of supervised release for making threats to President Obama over Twitter.
In August 2014, Russia introduced a law requiring all blogs with 3,000 daily readers or more to follow many of the rules that exist in conventional mass media, such as tougher controls on published information and a ban on the use of explicit language. The restrictions include the requirement to verify information before publishing it and to abstain from releasing reports containing slander, hate speech, calls for extremism or other banned information such as advice on suicide.
In July this year, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed into law a package of anti-terrorist amendments that allow automatic blocking of websites for promoting extremism and terrorism and require all communications companies, including internet providers, to retain information about their clients’ data traffic for three years and to hand it over to the authorities on demand (one year for messengers and social networks). Providers also must keep records of phone calls, messages and transferred files for six months.

Заместитель главы администрации президента Вячеслав Володин заявил, что у России есть больше свободы, чем в Интернет в Соединенных Штатах, где люди получают тюремное заключение для интернет-комментариев по поводу президента США Барака Обамы.
Володин дает пресс-конференцию в центральном российском городе Тамбове, где местный репортер попросил его прокомментировать возможность введения правила, которое потребует социальных сетей, чтобы получить удостоверение личности от своих пользователей ", чтобы люди могли знать, кто находится на другая сторона в Интернете. "ответил чиновник, что в отличие от многих стран, Россия выбрала саморегулирование в Интернете, и он не видит необходимости менять это.
"Сейчас мы способны решать различные вопросы путем саморегулирования и запрет на распространение информации о незаконных наркотиков, самоубийства и экстремизма. Общество имеет потребность в этом ".

Он также отметил, что у России больше свободы в Интернет, чем другие народы, в частности, Соединенные Штаты.
"Посмотрите на юридической практике. Вы когда-нибудь слышали о судебных процессах, инициированных [российских] государственных служащих и старших должностных лиц в отношении обычных пользователей Интернета, более даже самых резких заявлений, сделанных в Интернете? »Спросил журналистов Володин.
Женщина в аудитории ответили, что человек когда-то пытался судиться с ней за распространение порочащих материалов о нем в Интернете, но не сумел, как полиция и прокуратура отказалась признать ее материал незаконным. "Вы можете видеть, что прокуроры защищают вас. И если вы посмотрите на статистику в США, даже в течение последних шести месяцев, вы увидите, что некоторые люди там получили тюремные сроки от 12 до 18 месяцев для своих сообщений о президенте Обаме, "сказал журналистам Володин.
"Спросите себя - кто имеет больше демократии - мы или они?», Он пришел к выводу.
Чиновник не уточнил, какие судебные дела он говорил об этом, но это может быть арест Джона Мартина Роос - 61-летний мужчина Wisconsin который был задержан в апреле этого года за угрозу президента США на социальные медиа. Полиция также нашла оружие и несколько бомб трубы, как они искали дом Roos '. Он еще не был осужден. В 2013 году Donte Джеймар Sims из Флориды был приговорен к шести месяцам тюремного заключения плюс один год контролируемого выпуска для создания угрозы для президента Обамы через Twitter.

В августе 2014 года Россия ввела закон, требующий от всех блогов с 3000 ежедневных читателей или больше, чтобы следить за многими из правил, которые существуют в традиционных средствах массовой информации, таких как ужесточение контроля на опубликованной информации и запрет на использование явных языка. Ограничения включают требование проверять информацию перед ее публикацией и воздержаться от рилизинг докладов, содержащих клевету, разжигание ненависти, призывы к экстремизму или другой запрещенной информации, такие как консультации по вопросам суицида.
В июле этого года президент России Владимир Путин подписал закон пакет антитеррористических поправок, которые позволяют автоматически блокировать веб-сайты для содействия экстремизму и терроризму и требуют все компании связи, в том числе интернет-провайдеров, чтобы сохранить информацию о трафике данных своих клиентов для три года и передать его властям по первому требованию (один год для мессенджеров и социальных сетей). Поставщики должны также вести учет телефонных звонков, сообщений и передаваемых файлов в течение шести месяцев.

why so many people get stuck at the 1500-1900 FIDE chess level without making any progress
Dear ,
As a kid he showed incredible potential, reaching 2000 FIDE level at only 10 years old while putting minimal effort into formal study beyond just practicing casual games.
![]()
Are you wondering why so many people get stuck at the 1500-1900 FIDE chess level without making any progress despite countless studying and practice?
You are not alone. Dozens of students around this skill hit a glass ceiling despite continued study of tactics and games, and more.
We recently reached out to Argentine Grandmaster Damian Lemos, whose ascent to becoming a Grandmaster is very different than your typical story:
As a kid he showed incredible potential, reaching 2000 FIDE level at only 10 years old while putting minimal effort into formal study beyond just practicing casual games.
Around this time he began to take chess more seriously and began studying tactics for hours-and-hours each week. Unfortunately by the time he was 12, he was actually rated lower for much of the year! What was he doing wrong? Was formal study actually hurting his game?
He began to read more books on tactics, memorize and study openings to a deeper level, scrutinize his own games, and play in more tournaments. By this point he was studying chess 25+ hours per week and it was basically his only extracurricular activity besides school at this point. This went on for nearly 2 years.
Did he become a Grandmaster? Hardly. By early 2004 he had barely gained 100 points. It would make him so angry to see his peers continue to seem to become better while studying less. Maybe he was one of those many children who showed promising results as a child "chess prodigy" that never translated into the adult world.
By early 2005 he had had enough. He was not going to give up and knew by this point that the problem was in the way he was studying. We are sure many of you have heard of the "Pareto Principle" (also known as the 80/20 rule) and so he began to completely rework the way he studied for chess, eliminating activities that had little gain and focusing on those that seemed to bring him the best return.
The results were shocking. The biggest mistake most club level players make is not shifting the WAY they study chess after they reach a certain level, and instead dedicate more time to studying the wrong way.
We think that when you hit this rating level, you need a massive paradigm shift in the way you think about improving your chess. Studying tactics and memorizing openings till your eyes bleed are no longer going to cut it. You need to learn the way Grandmasters think, which is completely different from the way club players think.
The results in the system he built for himself were insane. In early 2005 he didn't have a FIDE title. By 2006 he zoomed past the IM title and less than 30 months after that he became a 2500 GM.
He never shared this secret study system he put together that year (except for a few lucky students he privately tutored, of course).
In 2014 FIDE Master William Stewart from our friends at iChess.net reached out to him to see if he would share the secrets of the system he created that year. They agreed to make a 20 disc authoritative course under the Empire Chess brand for struggling club players who are tired of seeing diminishing returns on their gains and want to leave the "beginner" way of studying tactics and openings out in the dustbin.
He spent the next 9 months carefully finding the best games to go over, the best content to cover and a way to maximize your chess gains in this course. The result was The Club Players Manifesto which went on to become the best selling Club Player’s video series on the market. The video is rated 4.8/5 stars on Amazon with over 35 reviews.
This bundle is not for everyone, it’s recommended for club level players in the FIDE range of 1200-1900 who are serious about improving their chess and want to add an excellent supplement to their chess study routine. We guarantee by just watching one lecture a day everyday for 20 days you will see marked improvement.
