USA does the same to anti-genocide protestors.
Empire is garbage everywhere.
That's - she's putting herself in a lot of danger. This is heroic.
Please read her statement.
Apart from that I'm glad to see actual journalism coming out of Russia; another Hail Mary to Mediazona!
How can he be against the war? There is no war. Only special military operation, tavarish.
I don't think that narrative survived what with how many people they've needed to draft for service. That illusion fell away pretty quickly I bet.
I thought nobody would be stupid enough to follow for this obvious propaganda, but in the the last one year and a half, I have changed my opinion.
Then you just found out about the Russian mindset. Fact of the matter is, Russians developed learned helplessness and rely on authority figures because they have gotten used to it since tsardom. They will only complain if their means for livelihoods and pensions are touched. The only times Russians had seriously challenged the authority was Imperial Russia losing World War 1 causing inflation, and Putin tried to implement pension reform. It is general rule that people only rise up if their means of livelihood become affected.
Reading this article is very worthwhile. How I wish I could be anywhere near as brave as Ms. Kozyreva.
I fear for her safety and I hope for the very best for her. And that she inspires many. I expect she already has.
Thank you for sharing this article.
The amount of immigration Russia will need to fill the void of dead young men.....
China is ready for this.
I share the sentiment that Ukraine has inflicted grave wounds upon Russia. But Trump is the latest in a long line of (wanna-be-)dictators that have shown how far you can push things, if you just don't care about the wounds your country is receiving. And Putin seems particularly uncaring.
Credit to her for doing the right thing. Repeatedly since the invasion on 2022z
I’m sure we all hope we’d be as brave in her situation
The longer the war drags on, the more it is to Russia's detriment. At some point, Russia will be in Chinese orbit, contrary to Russia trying to re-forge their own empire and influence.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
