  It can be enough. Not at all everyone who expressed opposition to the war is in prison. I did not looked too much into it, but can you name anyone at all, who is in a russian prison now, simply for verbally opposing the war? (There surely are plenty of political prisoners in russia, but I believe they were more vocal and organised in their opposition)

    If you'd asked this two weeks ago it would've been pretty easy for me. Alexei Moskalev has only just been released from a penal colony. I suppose you can dismiss that because social media posts and having a daughter with a brain and a heart don't count as "verbal", but I don't think that would be very reasonable.

      Well, I would consider his actions quite vocal. (And the article in the realm of propaganda, because they made it look like he was jailed just for the picture, when he also made uncited posts on social media.) But nevertheless, it is another good example to save, for my debates with certain people of other opinion. (Nato aggression)
