I follow these events and report here in English so the world knows. #Putin almost got the US with #Trump but we got our act together and got rid of this insanity. Let's 1) help less fortunate people by spreading awareness and putting pressure on our government to sanction ☝️ 2)

2) help ourselves to make sure Putin doesn't repeat information warfare tricks in four years here. Stay safe! ☝️🧵 #31января #Navalny #navalnyprotests #RussianProtests #Russia #PutinsPalace #Навальный
