These people are incredibly brave, they are marching in full knowledge of human rights abuses that could face them as a consequence https://t.co/NRE8U0jzOv

I don’t know this firsthand and I’m extraordinarily privileged not to, but I’ve garnered from social media and news reports that those protesters will probably face prison at the very least. A reminder that people are not their governments.

Pushkin Square, maybe less than 1000 meters from Red Square and the Kremlin, is the cite of a significant protest. These people know the risks of challenging the regime. They’re on the street in-spite of major personal costs. pic.twitter.com/bYEfbO91xG
