Perhaps rather than protesting, silently walking around holding signs that use of sarcasm? (To circumvent the anti-speech laws)

“Putin is king! Glory to USSR!”

“Synonyms for conflict may contain the words: war, special operation”

“Is the special operation over yet? My mother wants to see my brother”

“What’s next Vladimir?”

Subtle civil disobedience that the cops will overlook until it’s too late (I’m making a lot of assumptions here)

Make it so subtle that it feels like it’s a waste of time to arrest. Until everyone is doing it

Turning "special operations" into a meme is a great idea. Use it jokingly in every day life. If everyone start using it you have won your first battle.

The wider internet has already embraced this.

After Putin cried that the sanctions are an act of war they reply that no - it is just a limited special economic operation.

Not really. After all, there are no sanctions, it's a financial special operation in Russia.

The term's already become a meme in some places on the Internet.

You’ll be taken to a police dept by the first cop. Any form of protest is effectively banned. Sometimes with severe consequences.

None of those quotes are very subtle.
