What is democracy? Philosophers and political scientists have debated this question for many years. There are dozens of different answers to the definition of democracy. But at its most basic level, democracy means that people can freely express their demands. This is possible in democratic countries. But oppressive leaders do not want democratic demands to be discussed.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is increasing his repression against the people every day. He is trying to prevent the democratic demands of the Russian people. However, the Russian people continue to revolt against Putin’s policies. Russian people are using interesting methods to protest Putin. As Anka Daily News team, we investigated what is happening in Russia for you. Let’s start if you are ready!
In fact, it was not possible for the Russian people to organize very big protests. Because such protests were never allowed in Russia. Putin, who has ruled Russia since 1999, intervened in all protests. But in recent years, Putin’s pressure has increased more.
After Russia decided to invade Ukraine, the Russian people were very brave and started protests. These first protests were stopped very harshly by the police. Protesters were arrested and police presence was increased all over the country. But the Russian people constantly found new ways to continue their protests.
Russian protesters are communicating through social media. Russian youth organized through social media platforms are doing their best to stop this war. Russian youth think that Putin should resign as soon as possible.
These protests by Russian youth are attracting a lot of attention from the public. Especially the families of the soldiers support these protests. Hundreds of thousands of people in Russia have been forcibly recruited into the army and sent to war zones. Soldiers cannot communicate with their families. Families are very worried because they have no news from their soldiers.
