From his jail cell, @navalny has called for Russians to protest against this war. The very least we can do from afar is support Navalny's position (just as we did with Mandela decades ago.) 1/ THREAD
But of course, every Russian must make a personal decision about how to express their disgust with this war. Not everyone can risk being arrested. But no one can continue to do nothing. 2/
Those with resources can leave Russia. I know many doing just that. Keep leaving. (I hope my government will welcome these refugees.) 3/
Top officials in the Russian government and SOEs with a conscience can resign. I can't believe that Nabiullina, Yudaeva, Gref, Shuvalov, Kostin, Ryabkov, etc support this war. They should resign. 4/
Then, there are many small acts of civic resistance available. For instance, Russians can take their money out of state banks. They can give to humanitarian relief efforts working in Ukraine. They can talk to their relatives about the horrors of this war. 5/
I could add 3 dozen more actions. The one option not available is to do nothing. This war is evil. This war has the potential to destroy the Russian economy and maybe more. Out of pure self-interest, every patriotic Russian has a motivation to try to end this war. 6/ END
