It works both ways, free speech with global range allows fringe extremists to disrupt democracies.
Just look how russia uses this free speech. Free speech is ok but not with unlimited range.

Internally they ban all opposition media, which is not free speech, it's only hearing from propaganda.
Considering the events of the last 2 months, has Russia really managed to turn the west pro Russia or anti Ukraine at all?
I literally don't understand what you are trying to say.
How well has what Russia done worked? Like how loved is Russia right now in the west? How many people agree with it?
(sidenote: the russia brexit involvement has been 100% disproven. The Trump russia thing has been 100% disproven. The hunter biden laptop was not russian disinformation)
How many people reject vaccines? How many belief the governments are controlled by a secret elite? Even flat earthers are linked to russian psyops.
It's unproven but that's not the same

Looks more like they tried but with minor effect at most.
Maybe nobody who greenlighted the licenses to those channels could believe that there are enough idiots domestically who would not recognize it as lies and propaganda? As recent history has proven, there are always enough idiots to believe anything.
If you have absolute free speech, you'll have to allow the media of other countries (China, NK, Russia, who have you) to disseminate propaganda to your citizens until something like Jan. 6th happens.
In other words, the Russian regimes free speech has given rise to authoritarians who would in all likelihood, limit free speech in other countries if or when they rise to power.
“Free speech for me, but not for thee.”
Not just the rise of authoritarian leaders, but promoting both extreme left and extreme right political opinions leading to questioning the legitimacy of democratically elected leaders and the destabilization of free societies.
They didn't use russia's free speech but ours to turn our people against us.
