There’s not enough protest against steady loss of privacy.

Thank you for sharing.

I’m from Russia, and I’ve seen thousands of people running from the police over a decade ago. I’ve left the country before the big invasion started, but I’ve heard of small, quiet protests, and even quieter, but organized sabotage of railways that run towards the border with Ukraine.

Many people still support Putin, might be hard to stand up to the empowered majority.

But my friends from Belarus participated in mass actions against Lukashenko; we know that the majority doesn’t support him at all, and yet nothing changed.

I’m not saying protest is ineffective, but sometimes it’s not, especially when the time passed and the system hardened.

It’s important to protest, a lot, especially when the situation is not dire yet. Not only when people are desperate, but when they’re in discomfort, when the politicians lie, when our rights are even slightly violated.

Now as a German citizen and resident I go to protests, sign petitions, and participate in other civil actions.

3 years might become 10, there’s such thing as a “carousel prosecution” in Russia: your sentence ends, you are ready to leave and get another one for some nonsense; rinse and repeat.

I hope this girl is not that important tho.

Luckily!~

Don’t; no one deserves to be annexed by Russia. Or someone might be very happy making Hungarians very unhappy.

What a joke of a person. Wish he starts burning in hell yesterday.

Lenin was also an extremist and a dictator. Stalin took the cake, but I’d say it started earlier.

Edit:typo

Trust me, he’s a raging fascist (going by Eco’s definition) and a nationalist in the worst sense possible.

After WWII it’s enough to call your enemy a nazi in Russia to get public support - the trauma is still there. Of course he’s using it.
