Protests in Russia have been pretty much fully BANNED since the start of the war with Ukraine, and even before there was barely any freedom to protest. At this point, protesting in Russia has become super risky, and most Westerners now like to say that Russians never protest. However, out of nowhere, demonstrations have been recently taking place across all of Russia, where Russians protest against the destruction of freedom of speech and communication in the country. But how did these protests happen? Are Russians turning against Putin? And is this a sign of more to come? Let's talk about it!
