QUOTE(b @ Nov 6 2020, 08:56 AM)  But he just held a fraudulent rigged election in July the entire point of which was to make him King of Russia for 289 more years. I think the only way he’ll leave office is feet first. These people only value power. True dat. Saint Petersburg is a beautiful city, too bad u have to suffer since the beauty don't equate acceptance. |

I learned about a new Russian airline and a new Moscow airport from this.
It was so obvious this would happen but I guess he felt he couldn’t allow Putin to win by forcing him in exile. Although I have my doubts if he will be allowed to leave custody alive or if he will have an „accident“ |

I don't the first thing about Russian politics, but either way whatever happens this is going to be a win for the opposition. Even if he has a "heart attack" everyone will know it is foul play, it only aids to the opposition cause, which looks to be stronger than Putin probably realised. |

If he dies in custody (which I don't think he will to be honest as the entire world is watching) then all hell will break loose.

He obviously knows the risks but it's probably worth it for him. I think the Kremlin were probably caught off guard with how big the crowds were, add this to covid in the background and there is probably more civil unrest than they are aware of. Russia will definitely get some sanctions thrown their way. |

Oh I think they are aware of how people really feel. I don't know a single person in the real world (Twitter bots are a different thing) who supports what is happening. Of course the majority are of a different generation and some are bought to air their backwards views but people are falling out of love with our dictator. They are constantly doubling down to try and tie the loose ends which is logical (for them) but this won't end well for anyone.

Oh totally I bet, but it is events like this that inspire the future generations. Even with the PR from Putin it does seem like he is losing it and then taking hits out on ex-agents and the opposition shows that he is beginning to lose some form of control too. It does seem like the tide is beginning to turn slightly in Russia, it might take some time still but it does look like it is coming. Be interesting how this one plays out. |

Must be nice to view this from the sidelines haha
Maybe it's because I've been living in the epicenter (Moscow) for 2 years now but I feel like a lot of people are less afraid. Many including 20 year olds go out to protest (even by themselves) knowing very well there's a 99% chance they will get arrested but they do it anyway. |

I'm just blown away by the bravery of people like Kolesnikova and Navalny.

Yeah.
Not sure if attending will be good for my mental health, just thinking about it is giving me HUGE anxiety.

That video and report about Putin's castle and personal state is absolutely mental. It really does seem like the tide is turning in Russia, like you say Pavel a few years ago this amount of noise would have been unspeakable in Russia with people afraid of dissenting.

I worry for Russia when Putin disappears, it’s never been a democracy ever and it’s could be mad if there’s a void. I mean apart from 1/2 years in the mid 90s nothing changed from the pre 1991 years apart from the transfer of power from communist oligarchs to capitalist ones under the few who seized the states assets.

It's better to plunge into the unknown and get things sorted out on the way there than be kept in a small box with a gun above your head. Trust me.

I’ve almost literally been glued to Twitter in the past couple of hours. The turnout looks good especially in the regions.
