The US government hasn’t shut down the KKK though. Unless I’m wrong, I don’t think it’s possible to shut down political groups in the US, due to the first amendment.
So I think that would be a big difference between the US and Russia. Russia bans organisations it considers “extremist”, but I don’t think the US does.

Also, Russia is arresting people for expressing opposition to the invasion of Ukraine, even in private conversations. I don’t think the US arrested people who expressed opposition to the Iraq War - a war which Russia-supporters seem to love comparing the invasion of Ukraine to.
