the fall of the USA's Magnitsky Act (a massive conviction without trial)
The Magnitsky Act is one foundation for the Western "taking it on faith" litany of assumptions leading to action which is disgraceful towards Russia, indicting of the West and its so called 'leaders', and facilitating the media to spoon feed the public with again more assumptions that Russian government/ Putin is despotic, does really bad things like stealing money from 'innocent ex-pat investment bankers' and arresting, torturing and murdering whistleblowers. "A lie will circle the world before the truth puts its boots on." But when the truth finally gets going, those chickens will come home to roost. For anyone who has bought into this particular thread of the Western regime, this documentary, when it's available, is going to be important to watch. The hysterics arising from the Putinism "Russia is not the kind of a country that extradites human rights champions. (Россия не та страна которая выдаёт борцов за права человека.)" can be enjoyed just that little bit more. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Putinisms The extent of the efforts at various levels and from various (Western) parliamentarians to suppress this documentary, leaves a bad taste indeed. The linked prior article about the first cancelled screening is worth reading too and sets a fuller stage (besides providing a text book case of the Streissand effect): http://russia-insider.com/en/politics/empty-seat-william-browder-once-again-... And this whole Magnitsky saga is highly topical in respect of a certain days of our lives opera occurring in other forums over the last week or so: "We heard about the inconsistencies of the Magnitsky narrative that Browder has peddled in all venues, and the eureka moment of the film maker that led him to change the message of his film mid-way through production into what ultimately became a scathing critique of Browder, and also a serious critique of the entire concept of applying personal sanctions against alleged human rights abusers without due process, as was the case in the compilation of the Magnitsky List." --- Advance Review of Devastating Film About Bill Browder Which He Tried to Suppress Gilbert Doctorow http://russia-insider.com/en/exclusive-advance-review-devastating-film-about...
