Having served as a Moscow correspondent in the early days of Putin's reign, this reminds me of how the Kremlin took over its own press pool and made sure that only compliant journalists were given access.

Don’t give up hope. Dictators feed off your hopelessness.
Don’t quit. Dictators want you to give up.
Punch back. Dictators are bullies, and bullies are cowards.
Stay tethered to the truth. Dictators need you to believe their lies.
Resist. Stand with others.
