- Russians are snitching on rivals and neighbors, a BBC report said.
- A police officer told the BBC police are inundated with denunciations.
- The Kremlin has introduced draconian laws to suppress criticism of the Ukraine war.
Russian police are being inundated with denunciations by Russians of their fellow citizens over their alleged views on the Ukraine war, BBC News reported.
In the wake of Russia's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the Kremlin introduced draconian new rules to punish people criticizing the so-called "special military operation.'
Under the laws, Russians can be fined up to $560 or imprisoned for up to five years if found guilty of vaguely defined offenses that involve discrediting the military.
Police officials told the BBC that officers are fielding "endless charges on the discrediting of the army".
"People are always looking for an excuse to denounce someone over the 'special military operation,'" a recently retired police officer told the BBC, adding: "Whenever something real comes up, there's nobody to investigate. Everyone's gone to check on some grandma who saw a curtain that looked like the Ukrainian flag."
A serial informer, who goes by the name Anna Korobkova but did not disclose her real identity, told the BBC she had filed 1,397 denunciations since the invasion.
One man told the BBC he is being held in jail on terrorism charges after being falsely accused by a colleague after an argument.
The BBC claimed that Russians are being arrested on the basis of spurious accusations by people who hold grudges.
Human rights group OVD-Info told The Financial Times in February that around 20,000 people have been arrested in anti-war protests in Russia.
The report said that around 440 people face more serious charges over their alleged opposition to the war, and could face jail terms of up to 15 years. Some of those facing charges have fled the country.

Getting Japan mad enough to rebuild and modernize their military is going to be one of the biggest foreign policy disasters in Chinese history books in the future. I wonder if the Japanese formally apologize for their war crimes in Korea, and they manage to put the beef behind them.
Now or the near future is probably the best time to do it. Everybody involved is probably dead or nearly dead.
Yeah, if Japan would swallow it's pride and genuinely apologize and take responsibility for x, y & z atrocities that could pave the road for an Asian Military alliance. Japan, S. Korea & Taiwan would be a nice start. Too bad generational beef has such a long shelf life.
good lord
Is it just me or China getting super friendly lately?
