Russia is a dictatorship. The true constituents of Russia, the military, the oligarchs, all for now seem to unconditionally support Putin. Publicly demonstrating in a country known for violently ending public demonstrations is only going to get people needlessly killed. There are many other ways to dissent.

Public activism (well targeted) is how you turn those things, particularly the military rank-and-file. I mean, it's not like the same thing wasn't true of the Tsarist regime when the various forces opposed to it started demonstrating.
