"From 1948 until its repeal in 2013, Voice of America was forbidden to broadcast directly to American citizens under § 501 of the Smith–Mundt Act. The act was repealed as a result of the passing of the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act provision of the National Defense Authorization Act for 2013. The intent of the legislation in 1948 was to protect the American public from propaganda actions by their own government."

The majority of cases in the European Court of Human Rights are from Russia, first sanctions were applied when a lawyer investigating corruption among the officials was killed in prison awaiting trial. Which positive Russian policies applied for the sake of people and not for the sake of enslaving and murdering its people were impeded by the west?
