I need your help with research

Hello, russian brothers!! I'm a Brazilian doing research into Russian polyarchy! It's not really complex research, and it's more for presentation stuff, but I thought that it would be interesting to have the opinions of actual russians abt their government and the questions of freedom of speech, the media, and the state (the questions follow Dahl's idea of a true polyarchy). So I thought abt giving this place a try. If you don't wanna answer the questions (and there's no need to answer all of them, just one or two is fine), it's fine! No worries. Thank you for your help, anyway.

So, here goes:

How do you feel about your government?

Would you consider Russia a free country?

Is state media the primary source? If so, are alternative media available for public access?

Is Russia safe for LGBT groups, religious groups, and other minorities? Do they have the right to vote and lawful protection?

Is there fair political competition between political parties in the country?

Would you consider the 2024 elections fair and free?

Is there a right to opposition or opposition groups in Russia? Are they well-known?

Is the right to vote guaranteed to the entire Russian population?

Can an ordinary citizen of Russia attain a civil service position?

Are the demands of the population being met? Do Russian citizens have the ability to demand change from their government?
