I've been frustrated, depressed and alarmed at this "what's wrong with Russians for not rising up" debate, which I find dishonest, venal and dangerous. Since it's not going away, I took a stab at it. With lots of personal stories from Russia and beyond.⬇️

@mapto so, you are replacing the question “why don’t Russians do something“ with the thesis “why it doesn’t make sense to protest anyway”.
@gdanov it is contextual. The clear evidence is that what worked in Central Europe, works less in Bulgaria and Ukraine, and not at all in Belarus and Russia. There's a lot you can say about the reasons, but Belarus has been widely protesting for more than a year without any tangible success
@gdanov lets do some basic maths. 100%-70%=30%. With population of 140 million, this makes at least 40 million that do not approve the war. That's about the size of Ukraine. But enough maths. What does you article have to do with the topic? The only connection I see is you trying to make a conversation
