75.1 Russian opposition can’t be trusted
Russia has a tradition of “managed” opposition …
75.2 is supporting russian imperialism
Most Russians support peace talks but reject return of Crimea, and that is more or less the position of russian opposition as well1. See for example Chapter 66.
75.3 absolves the Russian people
There are many people in Russia who are against the war, who don’t believe Kremlin propaganda Kara-Murza, February 8 20024
It is wrong to associate Russian people with the government’s policies Pivovarov, February 8 20024
In fact is is hundreds of thousands Ordinary Russian Citizens (ORCs), who torture and murder on Ukrainian soil.
75.4 calls for an end to sanctions
75.5 misleads the West
75.6 is teethless
75.7 steals support from Ukraine
We explicitly exclude Garry Kasparov from this statement↩︎
