Pussy Riot founder and Kremlin-critic Nadya Tolokonnikova has said that she has been heartened by seeing her fellow Russians take to the streets in protest of President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
Since protesting the government in Russia means putting yourself at risk of considerable jail time and physical abuse, Ms Tolokonnikova told CNN on Sunday that the number of Russians who are against the war is likely to be much higher than the number of people seen protesting in the streets.
