Who is the Russian other than Ivan Provorov? <em>Voldemort Putin<\/em>, that\u2019s who.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, NHL Network\u2019s Senior Reporter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/sports\/nhl-analyst-hradek-ivan-provorov-can-involved-russia-ukraine-war-refusing-gay-pride-jersey\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">E.J. Hradek went on air and declared<\/a>, \u201cIvan Provorov can get on a plane any day he wants and go back to a place where he feels more comfortable, take less money and get on with his life that way if it\u2019s that problematic for him.\u201d Hradek also suggests Provorov join the Russian Army to fight Ukraine. \u201cI understand there\u2019s a conflict of sorts going on over there, maybe get involved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Set aside for a moment, the suggestion that one should leave America \u2014 specifically, the city of Philadelphia where they drafted the Constitution \u2014 for exercising basic First Amendment rights. It was a bit too much. Hradek might be interested in this Russian propaganda that discourages Russians from immigrating into America.<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p>A Russian family boarded a plane to move to Russia, and they are excited. \u201cfreest country in the world \u2026 the land of opportunity.\u201d Soon, they are repelled with an onslaught political correctness. The row of women sitting in front of them is married. One woman even refers to her spouse using male pronouns. A Russian man is made to allow a black man to pass him in the toilet line, supposedly as reparation. When he asks why, it ends with everyone kneeling and apologizing. The passengers are told to stop eating meat on planes because it offends vegetarians sitting next to them. And so on.<\/p>\n<p>Suffice to say, you don\u2019t have to be some alt-right Putin stan to find what is on some level hyperbolic propaganda an actually effective critique. I\u2019m old enough to remember the Cold War pretty well, and it was plainly understood by most Americans that the antidote to Soviet state-sponsored oppression was tolerance and classical liberalism.
