There were at least 16k detainments [^1] of anti-war protesters in Russia since the start of the invasion, most of them in the first month of the invasion if I remember correctly. Somewhere in the first 2 months it became more risky to protest the war - fines starting at 50k rubles (~1 median monthly salary) and the risk of criminal persecution increased (in addition a high risk of being fired from a job).

I was not intending to imply that the Russians did not protest. They did and generally faced far higher consequences for doing so.

Just added a bit of info/context to this branch of discussion, without any additional intent.
