Very risky time now for Russia. These kind of things can be the spark that leads to more civil unrest, open protests and revolts. 2 weeks till election... May Putin live in interesting times.

[–] volvoxvsmarla@lemm.ee 16 points 1 year ago

I like your euphemistic phrasing

[–] Valmond@lemmy.mindoki.com 0 points 1 year ago

Yeah, wonder if he too has a Walther PPK 7.65 ...

[–] rustyfish@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago

Looks like some idiot created a martyr. Good to see this. Hopefully it leads to Putler getting wrecked.

[–] tunetardis@lemmy.ca 26 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Looks more like thousands than hundreds? That's an impressive turnout.

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thousands in a city of thirteen million isn't great

@tunetardis @LaFinlandia
Statistically insignificant.

[–] fluxion@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Over 10k reportedly, with obstacles in place. For Russia where everyone there could be jailed, disappeared, or sent to the front line as cannon fodder, this is about as statistically significant as anything we've seen since the early days of the war

[–] tunetardis@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 year ago

Yeah, my thinking on this is that a hundred people can be rounded up and disappeared or whatever, but when you tack an extra 0 or two on that number, this becomes impractical. And once people see that 10k people got away with it, that number could mushroom in any further public gatherings.

@fluxion
More significant than what we've seen so far.
Lets see what happens.

[–] crispy_kilt@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You don't have to mention people when replying to them.

[–] AtmaJnana@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Its the norm on mastodon. It definitely clutters up Lemmy threads, but they dont see it as odd.

[–] rah@feddit.uk 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But significant.

[–] photoncollector@mastodon.social 1 points 1 year ago

@rah
True. Statistics are not everything.

[–] set_secret@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hundreds is great but they need hundreds of thousands...

[–] monk@lemmy.unboiled.info 1 points 1 year ago

Nope, that's not enough and not how it works.

[–] AlexisFR@jlai.lu 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hey, it's just like that episode of Star Wars Andor!

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

From what I've seen from the cemetery I'd say thousands of people easily. Seeing these Patriots willing to come out gives me a modicum of hope for Russia.

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is why Putin is afraid of the elections. Not because he needs to adhere to the result, but because it can be a catalyst for protests. And protests are a feedback loop where the more people are protesting, the more safe it is for more people to also protest. I hope the Russian people can get rid of their leaders and stop the war they don't want.

@JohnDClay @LaFinlandia
The vast majority of Russians support the war and Putin.

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

The vast majority of Russians respond to polls saying they support the war and Putin. The actual margin is much more thin. But unfortunately there are still many many Russians who support the war.

Edit: here's a video explaining the phenomenon https://youtu.be/WrO5-fXTbYs

[–] photoncollector@mastodon.social 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@JohnDClay Not 'many.' Most.

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Where are you getting that? Polls as I said aren't a great indicator since people are afraid.

[–] EvilEyedPanda@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Not surprised the links are down.

[–] yournamehere@lemm.ee -5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

most shouted "russia without putin". lets go big: world without russia!

the russian shitnation has caused so much trouble around the world. sometimes countries (like germany where i live) need to take a break by being broken.

i think there is no need for a russian nation if their ppl are so weak and brainwashed like right now. nothing is lost with russia. no culture, no good sportsmen, no products...there is nothing specifically russian that is of value. buy oil/gas elsewhere. russia is just obsolete. wipe belarus too while youre at it.

[–] toofpic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Remember the times the country where you live caused everyone troubles?

[–] yournamehere@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

well i am too young for that but we got history classes and so we saw enough videos and being happy about nürnberg. lets hope there will be a nürnberg for the russian agressor.
