From all the video I have seen in the past 24 hours, there is nothing in Russia resembling any type of cohesion or notable anti-war rallies. Barely a thousand here and there in the most populous cities (and that is being generous).

Russians liked to make fun of Ukrainians (before the invasion and more so before 2014), in a sort of big sibling/little sibling kind of way.
With that said, it’s actually Russian people who should be envious of Ukrainians, and the pride, determination and courage that Ukrainians showed to improve their own living conditions.
The Ukrainian revolution started out as a protest, and led to over 90 days of protesting, fighting back, digging in, and sacrificing in Maidan. Over 90 days! With people dying.
There’s legit hundreds of thousands or perhaps millions of people in Russia, who know the writing that’s on the wall. And while I don’t blame anyone for not wanting to protest in Russia, it’s still disappointing to see that people can’t come together to force change. Shows what most people think, when they’re just trying to get out of Russia, while Maidan proved the will of the Ukrainian people to better their homeland.
