Well, there were at the very beginning, and they were quite harshly repressed. It's not like anti-war protests in the US against the Iraq war, where you can just do it and go back to your life the next day, necessarily. Russian reporters who just say negative things in print get prison sentences.
There are more protests against the war in Ukraine now, than there were in Russia in 1915, and the Russian people eventually overthrew their czar over that.
