Here, in Melbourne Australia, government already passed a new law which is worse than Russia! it's titled "Public Health and Wellbeing Amendment (Pandemic Management) Act 2021"

In which a person like me (unjabbed, never masked) without covid pass, will be fined fined up to $90,500, and/or 2 years jail, while businesses that fail to check people like me, face fines of up to $452,500 for breaching the rules

How Orwellian it is! Yeah, it's for people wellbeing!

After the Vietnam War I fled the bloody communists ... only end up the same shit in Australia!

To me, protest is a waste of time and energy! I attended protest whole my life. Been there done that! The only solution is pitchfork revolt!

As the young man that escaped from USSR I more than understand your position. F..k - there is literally nowhere to run now! The formula that I'm beginning to like more and more is that in situation like we have the weaker the state (state's capability to oppress) the better off are the people there. Suddenly when someone says "this country is a failed state" I think to myself, hmm, interesting, let me look into that place )))

Sheppard isn't a very Russian-sounding name. Did you change it after arriving in the western hemisphere? Are you residing in the USA?

Yes, I live in US now. Stanley Sheppard is my pen name that I used for about 10 years or so that is a very close approximation in English of my Russian name by which I go in real life
