Residents of the Russian city of Krasnodar on July 20 staged a rare public protest to vent their anger over recent power cuts affecting southern Russia.
An estimated 200 to 300 people turned out for the protest to demand that the authorities resume the supply of electricity and water. They blocked a street in the north of the city as they voiced complaints about the cuts to services, which they said are becoming more frequent, Russian online media reported.
The protesters said that this summer their lights initially were turned off once a week, then three times a week, and now there is no electricity for 12-15 hours a day, the Baza Telegram channel reported.
People demand that they be given electricity for at least three hours, the online publication 93.RU reported.
Public protests are rare in Russia given the risk of arrest and detention and in light of a clampdown on dissent since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

KIEV, The Ukraine (AP) – At least two people were killed and three more injured after a Russian missile strike on infrastructure in Ukraine’s northeastern Kharkov region, said Gov. Oleh Syniehubov said Saturday.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian officials confirmed that the death toll following a Russian strike Friday on the city of Nikolaev, had risen to four. A child was among the victims, said the city’s mayor, Oleksandr Sienkevych.
=========================
The attacks have left thousands of people without power or running water in the Poltava region of central Ukraine.
That's it, the end of Putin is imminent.
Glad there aren’t any protests in Ukraine regarding power disruptions.
Oh wait...
