Now imagine this image came out of Russia, it would be plastered on the covers of all magazines as the western world would stroke its ego dick around this image. But I guess it's not coming out of Russia now, so it's irrelevant. (Not that I support Russia lol, fuck their fascist regime too)
Maga like Russia though, so it’s all good.
Would it? Was it plastered all over magazines when they were arresting people for holding signs that say things like ” I will be arrested for this sign”
When the war with Ukraine started, people in Russia went to protest it. Thousands were arrested on day one. No one remembers that now and it wasn't reported much in the West.
I think your memory is betraying you here, because all the big media outlets were talking about the protests going on in Russia at the time
Are you sure? Because I clearly remember the whole internet and Western media joking how Russia will collapse in 24 hours instead of reporting what was actually going on. And then people shitting on Russians for not doing anything to stop the war.
