Street Protests Have Increased In Russia

Russians are tired of war.

Street protests have become more frequent in Russia. Street protests have returned to Russia in the fourth year of the war. The reasons are very different. In several cities, musicians began playing songs of "foreign agents" in support of the St. Petersburg band "Stoptime". In Vladivostok, Novosibirsk, and Kamchatka, people took to the streets to protest against the increase in the utilization fee. Rallies against the Max state messenger were held in Voronezh, Omsk, Novosibirsk and Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. In Primorye they are on strike because of delayed wages, according to the Telegram channel "We can explain".

While the Kremlin paints a picture of "stability" and assures that the country is united, sociology shows quite the opposite: people are tired of war, pacifist sentiment is growing, young people are leaving the "sovereign Internet" en masse, and aggression is accumulating in society - which is reflected in court statistics.

According to the Telegram channel, more and more Russian residents are reading books by writers who have been declared "foreign agents" and "terrorists" in the country as a sign of protest against the authorities' policy. This literature is published by publishers abroad, after which it is delivered to Russia "by means beyond the control of the authorities," the post says.
