Volunteer to military. Get a gun. Return to Russia. Entire opposition could arm themselves this way. It is like filling the ranks with sleeper agents. There is always a way to duke it out with king Putin. What are homos or omon or w/e they are called going to do if red square is painted with their blood? More importantly how is Putin going to keep his head attached to his body?
Moral of this little story is that Russians willingly gave away their rights, so clearly protests ain't going to work. Civil war is your only option or possibly escalating the war to the point that Russian cities start to get bombed as well, this way elites might choose to get rid of Putin themselves. Either way, options are there, but I reckon Russians love BDSM too much and thus more painful journey will be picked where they just lose more rights and back to North Korea they go.
This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 83%. (I'm a bot)


People are being fined on an almost daily basis, mainly under the law on 'bringing the army into disrepute.
On January, 15, proceedings were initiated for "Bringing the army into disrepute" against the DJ of a bar in Tula who played a Ukrainian song during Vladimir Putin's New Year's Eve message.
On January 20, a truck driver from Chuvashia, on the left bank of the Volga, was fined 30,000 rubles for bringing the army into disrepute after having marked as "Interesting" two videos, one of which was about "The truth about the Ukrainian bombardment of the Donbass over the past eight years," on the Odnoklassniki social media platform.

Wow! He marked a video as “interesting”… GUILTY
That is nuts >

That's living in an autocracy. People on this site aren't quite getting what that entails and HOW restrictive it is. >

Wargasm is the only permitted way to express yourself. >

A 17 year old Russian was recently jailed as a terrorist for antiwar remarks he said in SCHOOL >

Russians with conscience are really risking their lives under Putin's autocratic rule.  At the least those arrested will spend time in jail and then released.  Some may end up even worse by "disappearing" after arrest never to reappear in public. >

Very possible some people will disappear from jail as well and magically reappear as cannon fodder on the front lines. >

The beatings will continue until moral improves… >

I came here looking for this. >

You looked hard and were well rewarded. >

Reminds me of the uses of the Espionage Act in the United States. Similar idea; it was weaponized to punish speaking out against war. Not to mention the whole thing with the Pentagon Papers. >

Yes, yes. Everyone's evil. We know already. >

The best thing opposition in Russia can do is to donate to Ukraine and gulagunet if possible. Leaving Russia is the best option, but not many can do it nowadays >

I mean revolution is great, but we tried back in 2012. I was a minor back in the day and police beat my ass. If you go protesting on the streets today you will face fines which you will be paying the rest of your life if you do not have a decent job while asking for donations to cover it is fucking stupid when you can save this money to help Ukraine beat the shit out of Putin's army. If you repeat and try to protest again you will go to jail and your family will slowly die in poverty. There are still people protesting, burning military offices. Yes, they are brave indeed, but it is not wise in my opinion. You cannot fight tyranny using its own methods
