Still, one of the things that really upsets me now is the apparent complete absence of a peace movement in Russia. I’ve heard no rumor of even the smallest demonstration or dissent. Even during the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia Grigorenko and others had the courage to demonstrate on Red Square.
Fear? Apathy? Herd mentality?

This is something that I’d like the Russian posters and trolls to address.
