I wouldn't agree with "being tolerated". That implies that X amount of Russians could suddenly 'begin' to no longer tolerate what the Russian Dictator and his 'oppression apparatus' is doing. How would they be able to do that?...
I don't see any possibility of a serious threat against the Russian Dictator unless a sufficient amount of the Dictator's own oppression apparatus turns against the Dictator. It could either be parts of 'the police' or various elements of the armed forces or some combo of both.
That said – Navalny (before his death) and his wife (as well as others?) have called for every Russian to protest by forming cues at twelve o'clock during the days when they are allowed to 'vote' in the Russian Dictator's
sham '
election'. And that
sham '
election' is held this weekend between the 15th and the 17th of March.
The Dictator's 'police' was allegedly not as brutal during the protests when Navalny was buried as they've been previously. So I guess it will be interesting to see what kind of protest will take place during this
sham '
election'...
Navalny and his wife has also called for everyone to either 'vote' for anyone else but the Russian Dictator – or to mark two 'candidates' which allegedly 'invalidates' the
sham 'vote' (two 'candidates' that are not the Dictator that is). That way everyone 'working' with rigging this
sham '
election' will know how big the opposition towards the Dictator really is.
Jailed Russian opposition politician Aleksei Navalny has called for a protest against incumbent Vladimir Putin during a presidential election next month by having voters turn out en masse at noon on the voting days to form huge lines as a show of opposition.
