A fitted LSS model on street protest in Russia

This model was trained on a Russian media corpus (newspapers, TV transcripts and newswires) to analyze framing of street protests. The scale is protests as "freedom of expression" (high) vs "social disorder" (low). Although some slots are missing in this object (because the model was imported from the original Python implementation), it allows you to scale texts using predict.
