    the russians also arrested some just holding up a blank white sheet of cardboard. i think it was in an area where protests are forbidden in general though. however, how does the absence of a message qualify as a protest.

        I mean, if you don’t suppress political opposition and people aren’t happy with you, that’s a real threat to you continuing to have political power.

        They don’t just do this on a whim.
