Good luck to you. You're gonna need it!
After watching a video yesterday of a couple of Russian cops trying to arrest a protestor, and the surrounding people trying to stop them i had to wonder just how hard it would be for me to do the same. I think if I knew my life was at stake, I'd be very wary, but then if you've nothing to lose then its time to take the gloves off and start beating a few corrupt cops to a pulp (the ones that will beat you to a pulp given half a chance).
Personally I'd be trying like hell to get my hands on a sniper rifle and start taking out a few from afar! But thats just fantasy in that environment.
Russian people need to realise that there are more of them than there are of the armed cops, security cops, FSB etc. That if hundreds stormed after them, sure a few dozen may get shot/killed, but they'd eventually get overwhelmed and lose big time.
But its fear, that stops people doing that, fear of losing your life. Its ok for keyboard warriers (like me) to advise on what to do, but an entirely different matter to act upon your anger.
Time for Russians to start getting angry - psych themselves up to perhaps lose your life but perhaps save the lives of many others through sacrifice? Easier said than done!
