When you have to choose between personal physical health and slight possibility of improving your government, the choice is obvious. I doubt you would make a different choice if you were put in Russia.

And don't tell me there is power in numbers and millions of Russians can change anything. If there are millions of Russians that oppose this war (I'm not sure about it) it's hard to organize them. The people who were good at organizing protests were hunted.

EDIT: and I hate this patronizing western rhetoric "protesting the government is easy, I'll teach you how"
