Not in our name

NO WAR

The latest figures according to Human Rights Watch is that nearly 14,000 people in Russia have been arrested or detained for participating in antiwar actions since February 24.

Paula Garb, a longtime activist who lived in the Soviet Union for 20 years and worked as a peacemaker during conflicts in Georgia and other areas of the post-Soviet bloc, said:

“It does seem as though maybe there is 50 or 60 percent of the whole country which may not be happy about the conflict, but are just accepting the Russian government’s narrative. Thousands of people are willing to be activists, but it may not be enough — yet.”
