No repressions, at least not overtly. So far, it's taking shape as an asymmetrical juridical rulings by our courts, with posts on social media begin treated as a "crime" worse than armed robbery, for example, and "fake news" being prosecuted with full state power against perpetrators, usually only if done by people not aligned with the government.

Also, attempts to infiltrate with political nominees for roles traditionally relegated to technical personal inside state companies and institutions, with the consequential increase in corruption cases and misuse of these state apparatuses in the name of a political party instead of state.

If it is to imagine an authoritarianism scale, present day Brazil is heading towards what Hungary is under Orbán. Far from the likes of Russia, but degrading quickly.

it is always starts with small things. russia under putin started with silencing uncomfortable mass media. then atacking private business. little by little it became a full-fledged terrorist state. and now "good" russians say we can do noting because in modern russia you can be sentenced just for like in social media. so it is very important to fight back as early as possible. dictator appetite only goes up. that is why it so strange to hear this things like - lets give putin territory he already occupied and stop the war. Oh really, again, when we eventually learn history.
