In addition to street protests, tens of thousands of people endorsed open letters and signed petitions condemning the invasion. Celebrities and famous TV personalities spoke out against it, too. One online petition, launched hours after Putin announced the attack, has gathered over 9,30,000 signatures in four days, becoming one of the most widely supported petitions in Russia in recent years.

Days after the invasion, in St. Petersburg, where several hundred gathered in the city center, police, in full riot gear, were seen grabbing one protester after another and dragging some into police vans, even though the demonstration was peaceful. Footage from Moscow showed police throwing several female protesters on the ground before dragging them away.

Ordinary Russians feared that stiff sanctions imposed by the West would deliver a crippling blow to the country’s economy.
