The root causes of [[Russophobia]], as the irrational fear and hatred against most any society, begins with its [[criminal justice system]]. [https://t.me/llordofwar/530521] In Russian, and most eastern cultures, the [[taxpayer]] and [[state]] are under no obligation to pay the housing expense and maintenance of people convicted of [[criminal]] activity (unlike [[Western]] and [[American]] societies where criminality is lionized in culture and [[Hollywood]]) short of [[capital punishment]] who have lost their rights and are removed from society.

Does the system need reform? Yes, most definitely, as many Russians openly admitted recently when [[corrupt]] prison guards who sold knives to [[Islamic]] [[terrorist]]s in prison had their own throats slit. Do they want to follow the "Western model"? Even the ''[[New York Times]]'' claims much can be learned from the [[Chinese]] [[gulag]] with its low recidivism rate. Those who have been to Chinese or Russian prisons have no desire to return. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|''Zelensky Must Go!'']]</sup> 14:47, November 21, 2025 (EST)

Contrast this [[fact]]s with [[Iryna Zarutska]]'s killer who had 14 prior arrests, or [https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/11/horror-man-49-prior-arrests-douses-woman-gasoline/ Man with 49 Prior Arrests Douses Woman with Gasoline, Sets Her on Fire While Screaming “Burn B*tch!” Aboard Chicago Train].
"But Rob, you don't understand how the [[American]] [[criminal justice system]] has historically been unfair to [[minorities]] so it has to be compassionate to [[criminal]] [[psychopath]]s."
Russia has had 192 minorities since the time of [[Catherine the Great]]. Minority immigrants who come to Russia for jobs and [[economic]] opportunity, know exactly what they are getting into to - as well minorities born there and the mainstream majority natives. And no, only Russian [[liberal]]s want to emulate the American or Western criminal justice system.
