Reply to comment by StandardMandarin in Mothers and wives of conscripts from Russian Far East to be sent to east of Ukraine by HarakenQQ

There have been protests against the invasion when it started but were shut down and there were protests against the mobilization but they got shut down too so the only resort for Russians is to flee the country their home which is really difficult as some neighboring countries won’t allow them to and civilians are saying they aren’t welcome I feel so horrible for people of both Ukraine and Russia who pay the price of what one person is doing

So I guess they just didn't care enough to keep the protests going? People are getting murdered in Iran every day for their protests but they haven't stopped yet. Guess the people of Iran are just stronger than those in Russia.
