“He was not afraid, and we are not afraid!”, “Yulia, we are with you,” chant those who came to ask for Navalny.

The crowd chants “Putin is a murderer!” - Russian media.
“Putin killed him, but didn’t break him,” - this is the poster hung on a tree on Borisovskie Prudy Street
“Bring the soldiers home!”, “Ukrainians are good people,” chant those gathered at the Borisov cemetery
People also turned on flashlights in memory of Navalny.
Looks more like thousands than hundreds? That’s an impressive turnout.
Thousands in a city of thirteen million isn’t great
@Godric @tunetardis that!!!

Statistically insignificant.
Over 10k reportedly, with obstacles in place. For Russia where everyone there could be jailed, disappeared, or sent to the front line as cannon fodder, this is about as statistically significant as anything we’ve seen since the early days of the war
Yeah, my thinking on this is that a hundred people can be rounded up and disappeared or whatever, but when you tack an extra 0 or two on that number, this becomes impractical. And once people see that 10k people got away with it, that number could mushroom in any further public gatherings.
@fluxion
More significant than what we’ve seen so far.
Lets see what happens.
You don’t have to mention people when replying to them.
Its the norm on mastodon. It definitely clutters up Lemmy threads, but they dont see it as odd.
But significant.

True. Statistics are not everything.
