Anti-war protesters took to the streets in Russia where they demonstrated against the shock and awe blitzkrieg invasion of neighboring Ukraine and in shocking videos posted to social media, things may have gotten rough as they were brutally suppressed.
In a shocking video that was posted on Twitter that has a distinct resemblance to the violent measures that were brought to bear against peaceful protesters in Ottawa last week, a woman is brutally battered by goons who are identified as being Russian police and it has gone viral.

With Putin’s well-established intolerance of dissent – a common trait shared with western leaders in Australia and Canada – the video is a foreboding example of the horrors that likely await those who would dare to turn out in protest of the military action that has shocked the world and raised the possibility of a global conflict on a scale unseen since WWII.
However, the caveat exists that there have been many bogus videos of events in Ukraine that have been circulating on social media since Putin’s escalation so the video has to be viewed with caution and discernment.
Another video shows heavily armed police sent into the streets to confront protesters, using raw force if necessary.
Police on the streets of Moscow, Russia tonight. A protest has been called against Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine. It is unsanctioned and police are clearly ready to use force against protesters. pic.twitter.com/xsqOpA3rhQ

Other videos that have been posted to Twitter also allegedly show the police response in Russia.

Multiple media outlets are reporting that over 1,700 arrests have been made.
“More than 1,700 people have been arrested across Russia in connection to anti-war demonstrations, according to OVD Info, an independent organization monitoring political persecutions. Video shared online showed large swathes of protesters in Moscow and the historic capital of St. Petersburg,” according to Fox News.
Reuters reported that “a Russian opposition activist who called for anti-war protests after Russia launched a massive military operation against Ukraine told Reuters that she had been detained by police on Thursday.”
“I was detained on my way out of the house,” Marina Litvinovich, the Moscow-based activist, wrote on Telegram. She confirmed her detention separately in a message to Reuters,” according to the outlet.
Additional images of protests in Russia are also getting attention on Twitter including large demonstrations in St. Petersburg and Moscow.

Some skeptical Twitter users posted their reactions to the troubling scenes from Russia, suggesting that there has been a double standard when it comes to media coverage.

Anti-war protesters in Moscow, Russia are quickly shut down and detained by police.
Crazy to think… Fidel Trudeau just did this all on a larger scale all over Canada simply because citizens don’t want forced inoculations. pic.twitter.com/UMezFHgNt0

The media control the people.
The anti war protests in Russia are all over the media and rightly so.
There have been freedom protests against the tyrannical Trudeau for months and hardly a mention of it on the media.
There’s always an agenda

A handful of people came out on the streets of central Moscow to protest Russia’s military action, police arrested them immediately (under 5minutes).
US media : Big protest in all major Russian cities.
Heights of exaggeration. 🙄

The crackdown will likely intensify along with the military campaign in Ukraine which continues to escalate with some reports that the Russians are advancing on the capital city of Kyiv.
