For more details about 2022 Anti-War Protests in Russia, please refer to the excerpt from wikipedia, in italics, below:
Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022, anti-war demonstrations and protests broke out across Russia.[91] As well as the demonstrations, a number of petitions and open letters have been penned in opposition to the war, and a number of public figures, both cultural and political, have released statements against the war.[92]
The protests have been met with widespread repression by the Russian authorities. According to OVD-Info, at least 14,906 people were detained from 24 February to 13 March,[93][94] including the largest single-day mass arrests in post-Soviet Russian history on 6 March.[95] Human rights organisations and reporters have raised concerns of police brutality during arrests and OVD-Info reported several cases of protestors being tortured under detention. The government has also moved to crack down on other forms of opposition to the war, including introducing widespread censorship measures. Other individuals who signed anti-war petitions have faced reprisals.[96]
