The important thing to say is that President Putin is making his delayed (recorded) speech now about the future of the illegal war
Putin announced only a partial mobilisation, which is what I suspected.
So anyone who's on the reserve will be called up due to #Russia's shortage of cannon fodder.

Starting live reporting from #Russia where the protests start in the Far East. This will be a long thread. There are 11 time zones in Russia. 🧵 #31января #Navalny #navalnyprotests #RussianProtests #PutinsPalace #Навальный t.me/teamnavalny/64…
142 cities are planning to step out in the streets. During the last week, #Putin/#Kremlin arrested and sentenced to home arrest w/o Internet/communication dozens of #Navalny coordinators/activists. Details 👇
Arrests last week:
#Putin is scared & tries to suppress #RussiaProtests tomorrow. All coordinators/leaders/#Navalny allies sentenced to home arrest with no Internet/zero contacts; chipped. Moscow downtown closed. Intimidation, violence, arrests all over #Russia. A short 🧵
#Navalny's brother Oleg, allies @SobolLubov, @DrAnastasy , @all_mary Oleg Stepanov are under home arrest till March 23, w/o Internet, for "violation of sanitary requirements." Coordinators in other cities arrested. The Kremlin is striking the leadership.
Tomorrow, on the day of the planned protest, Moscow police are closing downtown (7 metro stops, shops/ cafes/restaurants closed).
🛑In #Russia, past 24 hrs. Thread: #Putin's terror. Arrests, beatings, tortures, court hearings, & sentences w/o the accused & defenders, raids, intimidation. The court turns down the appeal for #Navalny. Navalny says, "We will not be intimidated." Unprecedented. Please RT. 👇🏽 🛑
Today, the court in the Moscow region recognized the detention of #AlexeyNavalny for 30 days as legal. Earlier, the court sentenced Navalny to 30 days stay in prison.
Journalists were not allowed into the courtroom but could watch the broadcast on the screen in the conference room. Navalny found out his apartment was searched, his brother was arrested for violation of COVID sanitation rules, the sound was turned off.
Ahead of the #RussiaProtests of yesterday many were amazed by the overwhelming amount of political content on Russian #Tiktok. I’ve been gathering some data on this (saw some people were interested @oonuch @Marielle_W_ ), sharing some (very prelim) highlights in the thread
Please read and interpret with caution: 1) the analysis is prelim (I will do more and hope to share some more insights at this virtual event on Feb 1 harriman.columbia.edu/virtual-event-… organized by @HarrimanInst)
2) the data is gathered from TikTok’s unofficial (!) API, and I most certainly don’t have all the tiktoks posted (though hopefully a high enough share, most popular ones seem to be in. but what’s lacking is unclear - it’s an algorithmic black box).
Broad, philosophical thread about how a hybrid authoritarian regime like Russia uses repression when citizens protest.
On this day of protests for #Navalny across Russia.

First of all, the defining ethical feature of the modern world is that each human life has equal moral worth.
Only the most extreme regimes can disregard - without consequences - that their citizens are cognisant of this.

In Belarus, escalating violence against protestors caused the regime more damage than it had hoped.
Unlike Belarus, where the special police numbers a couple of thousand, the Russian special police can handle vast numbers of protestors.
