“When have Russians ever been bold enough to go against Putin.”

Never! Not in any real numbers anyway.

“This is a real important moment in history. Also the video of 77 years old Yelena Osipova really got me. They are not playing over there.”

No. They’re not.

I am reminded of Murphy’s Law:  “Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.”

And he brought it all on himself! 

You know…until this debacle, I thought Putin to be a corrupt and evil man. But also an “intelligent” man. 

Suffice it to say that now, I’m beginning to question just how “intelligent” is he actually? 

Yep, Putin has HUGE growing problem on his hands at home!

Thousands of people turned out in cities across Russia this weekend to protest the war in Ukraine, risking arrest in a country where such demonstrations are illegal. Many of them were detained and some subjected torture as a result, according to an independent Russian human rights group.

Police detained more than 4,640 protesters in 65 Russian cities on Sunday, according to the monitoring group OVD-Info. It says more than 13,000 Russians in 147 cities have been detained at anti-war rallies since Russia first invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24.

“At least 30 instances of protesters being beaten have been confirmed and it is likely that this number is much higher,” it wrote in an update on Sunday. “There are many videos on social networks in which police officers are seen beating anti-war protesters.”

The group also cited reports of torture and mistreatment of detainees at police stations, saying some did not allow lawyers to visit.
