Today in Moscow, Putin’s storm troopers are threatening to cut off the fingers of arrested protestors who refuse to be fingerprinted. Same police officers are now wearing balaclavas to hide their identities after some being outed last week through crowd sourcing

This all reminds me of the stories about the descendants of those executed in Stalin's purges trying to identify the executioners because no one knew who they were, and it turns out it was a guy living down the street, around the corner, and his family had no idea what he did. https://t.co/eOi4sIMzx2
