1. Lotsa cops arresting one old lady.

2. Yeah, she's 77 years old from what I understand

He can try to intimidate old ladies. I said try. This lady does not appear to be intimidated. She likely knows exactly what Pooyin is, and it's not a brave, strong, bare chested horse rider! He needs to have his ass handed to him on a platter.

3. She's a survivor of the Siege of Leningrad.

She's a hero for taking a stand against Putin. She's live this before and knows what's at stake here. 💙💛

8. The siege was almost 80 years ago.

I applaud this lady, but it’s difficult to believe she was a survivor of that horror.

9. I read that in The Guardian

I certainly cannot verify it, however.


Russian pensioner 'who survived siege of Leningrad' arrested for protest against Ukraine war

Yelena Osipova, an elderly activist who is said to have survived the infamous wartime siege of Leningrad, was marched away by a group of police in St Petersburg while she protested against the war in Ukraine. Thousands of people have been defying police threats and staging protests across Russia. Authorities have a low tolerance for demonstrations and marches, and attending them can have serious consequences including fines, arrests and even imprisonment

11. I know,there were several threads about it yesterday.

Several posters pointed out the problem with the math.

Shame on any news org that didn’t do its due diligence.

10. As a toddler if in her late 70's, a young woman if in her 90's.

They may not have gotten her age right in the news. All us old farts look alike after all.

Five Russian children protesting against their country’s military invasion of Ukraine were reportedly arrested and briefly jailed along with their mothers this week.

The kids, ages 7 to 11, were armed with flowers and a sign reading “No War” when they were taken into custody outside the Embassy of Ukraine in Moscow on Tuesday, NPR first reported.

Photos first posted by Alexandra Arkhipova on Facebook show the children behind bars. Arkhipova, a university researcher, said the kids and the two women were detained and brought to a police station.

6. life hack note ...

... do NOT dismiss us little old ladies ...
... we didn't get to be in our 70s by being inconsequential ...
... and patience with silliness is pretty short ....
