“No war!” at the Borisovsky cemetery in Moscow
Video: BBC Russian Service
“He was not afraid, and we are not afraid!”, “Yulia, we are with you,” chant those who came to ask for Navalny.

The crowd chants “Putin is a murderer!” - Russian media.
“Putin killed him, but didn’t break him,” - this is the poster hung on a tree on Borisovskie Prudy Street
“Bring the soldiers home!”, “Ukrainians are good people,” chant those gathered at the Borisov cemetery
People also turned on flashlights in memory of Navalny.
This is why Putin is afraid of the elections. Not because he needs to adhere to the result, but because it can be a catalyst for protests. And protests are a feedback loop where the more people are protesting, the more safe it is for more people to also protest. I hope the Russian people can get rid of their leaders and stop the war they don’t want.

The vast majority of Russians support the war and Putin.
The vast majority of Russians respond to polls saying they support the war and Putin. The actual margin is much more thin. But unfortunately there are still many many Russians who support the war.
Edit: here’s a video explaining the phenomenon https://youtu.be/WrO5-fXTbYs
@JohnDClay Not ‘many.’ Most.
Where are you getting that? Polls as I said aren’t a great indicator since people are afraid.

I am a fluent Russian speaker with a degree in Politics and lived in Russia for years.
Nobody takes the polls seriously. Neither inside nor outside Russia
I get my information from reliable sources in Russia, with whom I am in daily contact.
Yeah, I’m gonna go ahead and assume you’re actually a Russian propagandist, so enjoy the blocklist comrade.
А мои доверенные источники сказали мне, что твои доверенные источники — говно ;)
