One year from the invasion, what is the most iconic image from Russia’s war in Ukraine?

[Mikhail Khodorkovsky @khodorkovsky_en]

Anna Politkovskaya was assassinated #OTD in 2006, on Putin's birthday (7.10.)

In 'Putin's Russia' (2004), she warned the world, but we wouldn’t listen

Today, everything that she wrote – tragedy, bloody violence, the war that Putin was leading to – has happened

Lest we forget!

[Mikhail Khodorkovsky @khodorkovsky_en]

Anna Politkovskaya was born #OTD in 1958
In 'Putin's Russia' (2004),she warned the world,but we wouldn’t listen
She was assassinated on Putin's birthday (7.10.2006)
Today,everything that she wrote–tragedy,bloody violence,the war that Putin was leading to–has happened

[Alexey Navalny @navalny]

1/31 Truth and free information hit Putin's insane regime just as hard as Javelins.
This is a thread about opening the second front against the war criminal from the Kremlin — the informational front.

‘russia tries to show the world that people do not matter. that everything that makes us human does not matter’

as russian genocide of ukrainians enters second month, @ZelenskyyUa calls for new wave of ukraine solidarity rallies across the globe

[Reuters @Reuters]

A Russian court sentenced jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny to nine years in prison on fraud charges, in a ruling that will keep President Vladimir Putin's most prominent opponent out of active politics for years ahead https://t.co/QQ89yt6nM2

[Leonid Ragozin @leonidragozin]

The length of Navalny’s prison sentence is not that relevant - there is only one man who decides whether he stays or goes, nothing to do with law. What matters is that he is to be transferred to a strikter regime prison, which will make his and his family’s life more of a hell.

[Alexey Navalny @navalny]

9 лет. Ну, как говорили герои моего любимого сериала “The Wire”: “You only do two days. That’s the day you go in and the day you come out”
У меня даже была футболка с этим лозунгом, но тюремные власти ее изъяли, посчитав подпись экстремистской.

[Кира Ярмыш @Kira_Yarmysh]

1/20 Tomorrow Alexei Navalny, the leader of the Russian opposition, will be sentenced. The prosecutor's office asked for 13 years of imprisonment. Below is a thread about how Alexei’s trial went and what he is accused of. Please share.

Interesting pivot from “Ukraine is bad because Nazi” to “Ukraine is bad because rainbow flagged”

[Not Just Putin @NotJustPutin]

Students at one of the leading Russian universities MGIMO support the war in Ukraine. The original video is translated and put against the reality of what is happening in Ukraine. If you had any hope for “educated” elite, forget about it. #NotJustPutin #StandWithUkraine

[James Longman @JamesAALongman]

You rarely hear from mothers of Russian soldiers. This lady came up to us at an anti-war protest in Moscow, desperate for the safety of her 22 yr old son. She told us there were only 10 men left in his regiment. If there are voices Putin fears, it’s these

[Harry Renwick @HarryRenwick]

@MaryKostakidis Lots of bias in this article, nothing clearly showing Ukraine "started the war" & who is to say Maidan was not grassroots? Fear that u have been lead by anti-western/NATO sentiment, understandable. But has that sentiment led you to form your own truth, beyond critical journalism?

[Anne Applebaum @anneapplebaum]

Look how frightened Putin is of this man

[Steve Rosenberg @BBCSteveR]

Absolutely astonishing. During Russian Channel 1’s evening news broadcast, a woman ran onto the set with a sign: “No war…Don’t believe the propaganda. They’re lying to you here.”

[Eva Hartog @EvaHartog]

The video of all videos: First speaker is a protester. She asks: "How long do you think before I get arrested with this sign saying 'two words' (ie. no war)." The second speaker is about to set off on a pro-Kremlin speech when ...
The message: Just don't speak out at all.

[Vlada Zhuravlyova🤍💙🤍 @ZhurVl]

I am certainly not a prominent figure in the Russian anti-war movement, and there are people here who have much more to say.
But this war is my responsibility, and I feel it's important to speak out

A corridor in one of evacuation trains in #Ukraine from Poltava to Lviv. 17 hours on a train with all windows closed so that no light escapes and the train doesn’t become a target.

In Kharkiv, many are even forced to leave their suitcases and pets on the platform.

Kazakhstan is sending 82 tons of medical supplies to Ukraine. One of the closest Russian allies sending supplies to Ukraine. More than supplies, a very clear signal Kazakhstan is not on board with what Moscow is doing. Big deal and massive thank you.
