Freedom of the press in Russia wondering...

Hi! I was wondering your motives when you reverted the version you wanted in the article Freedom of the press in Russia. I'm little suprised that we have some editors (with Russian connection) who deny that there is nothing wrong with press freedom in Russia (for example according to the latest IPI report the press freedom in Russian sinked in 2009 under Belarus). I tell you a story: During the perestroika years, in late 1980s, did not only mean freedom of speech in the Soviet Union and East Europeans countries, but also in Finland. Though the country was/is democratic and capitalist, Finland was under heavy Finlandization and the term itself was well-known among Finns even before 1980s. But people and media denied it - "How those arrogant Swedes and Western-Germans could say in aloud that we Finns are under self-censorship due the Soviet influence?". This was not bad, because the term was presented in abroad. But in late 1980s some of Finnish intellects said also this aloud. I remember that even I was angry: "who dared to say such stupidities" and "bring dirty to our homeland". Well, after the Soviet collapse the Finlandization became wellknown historical fact.
