Kozyreva is currently one of an estimated 234 people imprisoned in Russia for their antiwar position, according to a tally by Memorial, a Nobel Prize-winning Russian human rights group

Only 234? Is there an incredibly effective underground that means the police aren’t catching them? How sad the Russian people have been so completely cowed on this way that they leave it to a 17 (now 19) year old to resist.

As often happens, the young people haven’t yet gone through the world’s natural selection which leaves alive only the ones who have accepted and internalized the bullshit. They’re still, often, alive on the inside a little bit.
