Dude, they lock you in Russia up if you protest too much. Russia is a full-blown dictatorship now with Internet censorship, state-operated propaganda and other bells'n'whistles.
- FrenchDevRemote 5y agoThey lock you up in a lot of places for the same reasons. Even in the US or in Europe you might get killed at a protest. There is people protesting in Russia right now, no matter the risks, I don't see the harm in trying to increase their numbers.
- useFAR 5y agoNumber of protesting people in Russia is a joke.
- john_moscow 5y agoVladimir Putin is an ex-KGB officer. The country has a system for monitoring all phone communications, and the major email providers are affiliated with the state. Also, 100% of the media is spinning the "we're liberating Ukraine from the Nazis" take, and unless you spend very considerable effort doing your own research, you just won't find a single information source telling you otherwise. And if you get anywhere close to organizing a protest with a non-trivial number of participants. They will figure out who's in charge, and will put you behind bars as a warning to others. That, and people generally don't trust each other, don't trust the system, and are mostly busy trying to survive, find cheap food, and not get caught in a crossfire.
