Why is the freedom of speech?
In the US you do not have any major limitation of freedom of speech, and the same goes for most other Western countries. Any limitations in force usually concern incitations to hatred or violence against minority groups and such. Also, freedom of speech never gives you a licence to break the law. In countries that have limited the freedom of speech the idea is usually that the powers that be want to suppress criticism of Party or Government policies or want to silence opposition parties or movements.

Australia has freedom of speech, so you can express your opinions or criticise the government. Australia has freedom of religion so you can go to a church, mosque, synagogue or temple and practice any faith that you like, alternatively you are free not to have a religion. In Australia you can travel and move about freely. Basically you are free to do just about anything that you can do in any other democratic country like France, United Kingdom or Canada.

Russia elects its leaders democratically and the current (2009) government is certainly a popular, legitimate government. However, at present it appears (from the outside) that the government/authorities seem to suppress any dissenting public demonstrations and censer the press quite actively. On this basis one would have to conclude that, while the people of Russia have a democratic government, they do not have freedom of speech.
