This crackdown in Russia esablished a patern or he
surrounding region where counry afer counry in
983090983088983089983091 ook up anidemocraic innovaions ha were
pioneered by Moscow In Kyrgyzsan or example a

983090983088983089983090 law requiring many civic groups o regiser as
ldquooreign agensrdquo A bill inroduced in March o his year
emulaes Russiarsquos 983090983088983089983091 law agains LGBT ldquopropagan-dardquo prescribing fines or anyone who spreads inorma-

Similar measures have been proposed or brough up

Indeed Ukrainian leader Vikor Yanukovych coninued
o push he Russian model in he las monh o his

measures were quickly rejeced afer Yanukovychrsquos

Even in saes where governmen and law enorce-

in insiuionalized brualiy and inolerance he
Kremlinrsquos legislaion has served as an inspiraion In
Azerbaijan auhoriies in December adoped resric-ions resembling he ldquooreign agensrdquo law hough he
