"The list of your political opponents who are dead, in prison, or jailed is long," Scott told Putin, alluding to critics like Boris Nemtsov, shot dead a stone's throw from the Kremlin in 2015, and Anna Politkovskaya, a journalist murdered in 2006, as well as numerous activists currently languishing in Russian jails.

"So, my question is, Mr. President: What are you so afraid of?" she said.

Putin sidestepped the question, and after a follow-up from Scott he launched into a tirade about the January 6 mob attack on the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. He said participants face jail time on "unclear grounds", overlooking the alleged involvement of several dozen people with ties to far-right groups and the reams of evidence made public about their actions.

He acknowledged that a prison in Minskā€™s main detention center was ā€œnot a resortā€ as he had referred to it earlier in his address, but he denied allegations of torture, resorting instead to whataboutism.

ā€œWhy have you killed a girl in Congress?ā€ he asked a journalist from CNN, referring to the death of Ashli Babbitt, the woman shot by a police officer as she and other rioters raided the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. After that, Mr. Lukashenko said, ā€œa question about repressions against civil society from my part just canā€™t be compared to the situation in your country.ā€

Wataboutisms kā, piemēram, totalitārisma indÄ«gu ideoloÄ£iju apoloģētika savā valstÄ« un mēģinājumi meklēt ienaidnieku kaut kur ārpusē, piemēram Polijā vai Ungārijā, kas aktÄ«vi pretojas Å”im ideoloÄ£iskajam vēzim. Malači, atkārtojiet korÄ«ti, ko jums deklamē pa publiskajiem skaļruņiem.
