Protests have broken out in the Republic of Bashkortostan over the arrest and sentencing of a local environmental activist by the name of Fail Alsynov. Citi...
Bullshit, protests have been anecdotal by very few individuals. Considering it’s been almost 2 years now, and Putin has send hundreds of thousands Russians to war to die in a senseless war, It’s crazy Russians are not at least passively resisting.
The biggest protest was 1000 protestors in a city of 12 million and country of 140 million!!
This is 10000 protestors in a city of 17000, clearly there’s a difference. The Russian people are pathetic, allowing family, friends and themselves to be senselessly slaughtered.
Not 1000 protesters. 1000 DETAINED protesters. And during the same day the protests happened all over the country. I may have not been entirely clear in my comment, but you could’ve at least checked the Wikipedia.
Since the start of the war until 6 March [2022] nearly 13,000 have been detained.
And it’s nearly impossible to calculate how many actially participated and escaped before getting detained. And that was before the mobilization, that was when only the professional military was involved. After the mobilization the protests reignited.
And what exactly do you mean by “Russians aren’t passively resisting”?
No protest: I get to have some extra time with family until I get drafted and some faceless soldiers die. (Assuming I have not been consumed by propoganda)
Or protest: get fined/jailed and leave my family without any support
It’s easy to say that they should just protest if you ignore protestors will also have to fight a genocidal regime.

Hmmm let me see:
