I mean, it's fairly clear to me that that image is a classic case of a news outfit taking an image out of context, tweaking the contrast perhaps, and promoting it as evidence of something it isn't. I hate that sort of thing, always have, and I don't care what "side" promotes this sort of misleading propaganda.
It doesn't mean that the Russian authorities aren't evil fascists. It just means that this particular image doesn't really represent what the news outlet is claiming.
