No To War: How Some Russians Are Protesting The Russian Invasion Of Ukraine
One woman stood quietly just a few meters from a corner of the Kremlin with a paper sign reading "No to war." She lasted just a few minutes before riot police trundled her off to a waiting van.
Then there was the man who held up a sign that had asterisks written in places where the letters for the words "No to war" would be. He also lasted just a few minutes outside the Kremlin walls before being detained.
Or the woman who was arrested after she stood in front of Moscow's Christ The Church Cathedral holding a sign with the biblical Sixth Commandment written on it: "Thou shalt not kill."
