The very few independent journalists are constantly harassed, imprisoned or forced into exile by authorities, while foreign media are either banned or allowed only in small doses, and always subject to close monitoring.
Putinii jurnalisti independenti sunt in mod constant hartuiti, trimisi in inchisoare sau in exil de catre autoritati, in vreme ce mass media straina este ori interzisa, ori permisa in limite foarte stricte, fiind oricum atent monitorizata.
