Thousands of people protested President Vladimir Putin’s attacks on Ukraine in cities across Russia on Thursday, a striking show of anger in a nation where spontaneous mass demonstrations are illegal and protesters can face fines and jail.
More than 1,700 people were arrested in at least 47 cities across the nation, according to rights group OVD-Info. The group was declared a foreign agent last year, when Putin launched a sweeping crackdown on activists, rights groups and opposition figures.
That is real bravery, not like these hillbilly redneck antivax moron truckers.
They certainly are!These are very brave people.
There's also something very heartening happening right now too.There are currently mass demonstrations by Russians throughout the country against the Ukraine invasion. These are very brave people.
Hopefully this continues.
Putzin thought he had the peasants sufficiently intimidated. Guess he was wrong.Wow - that's really an encouraging thing to see. Who'da thunk we'd ever see something like this in Russia? I wonder if Putin ever gave thought to how his own country would react to his actions?
Did you see the video of the tank that purposely ran over a civilian auto? Fortunately, the driver survived; but it's a testament to Putin's callous disregard for human life.Putzin thought he had the peasants sufficiently intimidated. Guess he was wrong.
Time for them to go a step further. Drag his ass out of his home in the middle of the night, strip him naked and hang him upside down from a lamp post in Red Square.

It makes me hope that this whole fiasco might end with Putin overthrown and the start of real democracy in Russia.There are currently mass demonstrations by Russians throughout the country against the Ukraine invasion. These are very brave people.

I heard that was actually the Ukrainian military, and it was an accident. The drivers lost control at the wrong time.Did you see the video of the tank that purposely ran over a civilian auto? Fortunately, the driver survived; but it's a testament to Putin's callous disregard for human life.
No. It was a Russian armored mobile rocket launcher, and it was clearly no accident.I heard that was actually the Ukrainian military, and it was an accident. The drivers lost control at the wrong time.
I prefer a UN disposal squad. Saudi Arabia can handle it and we won't ask for details.Putzin thought he had the peasants sufficiently intimidated. Guess he was wrong.

Some people say this is the final act of the dissolution of the USSR; first the Wall, now Putin. Then a new page for Russia.It makes me hope that this whole fiasco might end with Putin overthrown and the start of real democracy in Russia.
I'm not an optimistic person, but it's nice to imagine
Not sure why you think my use of the phrase "I heard" implied I have proof. I don't.No. It was a Russian armored mobile rocket launcher, and it was clearly no accident.
If you have proof otherwise, post it.
