I had to laugh when Putin talked about the "insurrection"

He likened the arrest of 450 people that came to the capital that day as the same thing as when he made arrests following the riots that happened when Nevalny was arrested.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is to meet President Joe Biden at a summit Wednesday, has suggested that the hundreds of people arrested for rioting at the U.S. Capitol are being subjected to “persecution for political opinions.”

“You are presenting it as dissent and intolerance toward dissent in Russia. We view it completely differently,” Putin said in an interview with NBC News broadcast Monday. He then pointed to the Jan. 6 insurrection in Washington when protesters barged into the Capitol to try to halt the count of electoral votes to certify Biden’s election victory over Donald Trump.

“Do you know that 450 individuals were arrested after entering the Congress? ... They came there with political demands,” Putin said.
