How does the investigation of Pushkin have anything to do with this and disinformation?

You claim there is something "inflexible" in prosecution once some random group complains, but that does not mitigate this from the story:

"The probe was launched after some 500 public figures, including members of the Nationalist Rodina Party, in a letter to the prosecutor’s office urged to outlaw the Jewish religion and all its organisations operating in Russia, daily Ha'aretz reported."

Further did I miss the historical context of Russian pogroms and purges of Pushkin lovers?

And how is the apparatus of prosecutorial rules which enable censorship supposed to be a comfort to critics who claim Russian backsliding?

This Pushkin story has no relationship to disinformation or anti-Semitism.
