> the people were not upset

False. There's a lot (the majority) of people from my close circle who were and are "upset", if I can put it this way. I don't have the statistics, but let's say that's 80/20 ratio (supporters/non-supporters), even though I personally believe it's closer to 50/50.

> fast-food, clothes

So you really think that limited access to the Internet and the fact that McDonalds is gone would force these 20% to get on the streets and fight against the heavily armed government forces AND the rest 80% of the country population? I mean, among the other reasons that come to mind, sanctions (movies, cars, clothes - what??) are somewhere at the very bottom of my list, if matter at all.

It's not what I think, is what actually happened: a russian guy protested ONLY for his lifestyle, a burger, not for his government killing other people.

Do you see the difference between "a guy" and 20% of the population?
