Well, Russia has even imprisoned most of their native opposition.
And yes, they have been harassing Ukrainians, especially those on Crimea and in the Donbas and Lushenk area who did not want to submit. Hell, they are even harrassing Georgians in Georgia beyond the line of control in South Ossetia (which they are constantly pushing further into Georgia).
They have closed down the German TV office in Moscow and taken the accreditation of all those journalists. They have been closing office of international and local NGOs
So yeah - I would say that there are plenty of reports of harassment going on.
