Protesters have managed to post many videos and photos of their demonstrations to Western social media as citizens in Russia, Iran and China used more sophisticated methods.
The recruitment effort again showed how unhappy people were with the war as significant numbers of men fled the country rather than risk deployment to the front lines.
When police cracked down on the protests, the more visible elements faded, but the people grew more creative. Rachel Denber, deputy director of the Europe and Central Asia Division at Human Rights Watch, told Fox News Digital the protests have morphed as Russian authorities increased the severity of their response. Russian police officers detain a man during an unsanctioned protest against the military invasion in Ukraine March 6, 2022, in Moscow, Russia.
"I think, in order to understand the way it is that Russians are voicing their objection to the war and to mobilization, I think you have to take a much wider lens than street protests," Denber said. "They find ways to support people who are trying to evade the draft," she explained."They sometimes engage in single-person actions out on the street, which I guess is a form of street protest and for which they, you know, face administrative or criminal charges.
