The current government are sh1t scared that they are going to lose this upcoming election - it's likely that we'll see more arrests over the next few weeks of anti government media outlets, print digital and social.
They started planning this in June but scaled back their plans which, at that time, was to actually "seize" any anti government media outlets and take control of their assets, all under "anti terror" laws.
The tactics they are using make Putin look almost benevolent and are reminiscent of those used in the
pre war era in Germany:
Once they succeeded in ending democracy and turning Germany into a one-party dictatorship, the Nazis orchestrated a massive propaganda campaign to win the loyalty and cooperation of Germans. The Nazi Propaganda Ministry, directed by Dr. Joseph Goebbels, took control of all forms of communication in Germany: newspapers, magazines, books, public meetings, and rallies, art, music, movies, and radio. Viewpoints in any way threatening to Nazi beliefs or to the regime were censored or eliminated from all media.
