5. Even people in remote syberian small towns protest. Amazing to see news about this

I doubt it will go well for those thousands arrested. That is government treatment intended to silence the entire population. Makes people afraid to protest their government.

......closely. That's exactly what they want to do here when we protest.

7. The Russian People

Most Russians that I have met are good people. I have known a number of them from my University days. The Russian People are by and large great people, but they have a history of terrible leadership and bad government.

Putin is a murderous authoritarian thug surrounded by corrupt oligarchs. The only solution to these problems is Democracy. The Russian People overthrew their Soviet overlords in the past. I hope that they can do the same thing again and get rid of Putin.

Those people deserve to have freedom and a functioning Democracy. I wish the protestors well.

9. Wait

They will try to pin the Russian protests on the C.I.A. or George Soros.
