The stocky, bespectacled 60-year-old local legislator and academic has struck a chord with the public, openly calling for a halt to the conflict in Ukraine, the end of mobilizing Russian men for the military, and starting a dialogue with the West.

Well with Navalny as precedent, it seems like they’ll throw him in a gulag rather than kill him
He didn’t learn from Navalny’s example. Clearly there has to be a stronger message to anyone who might come after this guy.
