Russians are trying to flee – data from Google Trends

Have you seen any major rebellions in Russia in the last decade? No.

Here is a kicker - there were few coups even in North Korea.

So russians are fine with regime. And even though actions speak louder than words, most people even didn't SPEAK against it until few days ago.

So unless you openly spoke against putin and regime for years, you were part of the problem.

Also, in Ukraine people go against armed forces with bare hands on protests and risk being KILLED. In russia they are afraid to protest to get 15 day jail time? Sorry, no excuse here either.

All easy to say as you post this from the comfort of your home.

Don't be so sure about that. There's a lot of posters from eastern Europe in this thread. Many may remember their own fights with USSR. Not to mention maidan.

I've been on Maidan in 2014 mate, when all the crazy shit happened. So when I say people are not afraid to get hurt for freedom here - I know what I am saying.

In 2014 I flew from Israel back to Ukraine to participate in Euromaidan.

So instead of fleeing all the Russians of the world should flock back instead.

>15 day jail time

15 YEARS. I'd rather die, especially if I was giving my life for my country.
