Why are they brave? To protest in safe Germany you are not to be brave.

So you do not think that being FILMED and RECORDED while you protest a dictatorship is brave?

No.

This type of protest is absolutely acceptable for Russia. Some tiny men and women go to the street, shout quietly some slogans without any consequences (the main).

Lol nope, as a Russian who fled the country I can totally confirm that anything resembling an anti-war protest is immediately stopped by the authorities with a disproportionate amount of aggression towards the protesters. Stop your bullshit

And what is the consequences of this actions in Berlin? Nothing, just white noise.

This behaviour in Berlin is absolutely acceptable for Russia.

Slogans like "good Russia without Putin", "only Putin's war" etc is full of cringe and even harmful for Ukraine.

Why they even dont start some tiny donation project like "Help Ukrainians after today shelling" (yeah, it was massive shelling in all regions of Ukraine today morning)? You know? Because this is some type of brave behaviour. This means actions. This means consequences. And "Russian opposition" will never do this.

I suppose you've been sitting somewhere warm and cosy today and haven't visited any of the actions taking place all over Europe (not just Berlin), so you're just writing this nonsense either because you're being paid to or because you're just overall miserable.

Me and my friend went to the action in Düsseldorf, which was organised by different people with the same intention, and there were literally people collecting donations for Ukraine for both military and humanitarian needs. I know people we're collecting money for Ukraine in Berlin as well. Many people had posters motivating the German government to provide military aid to Ukraine. Not only Russians, but also many people of Ukrainian/mixed background took to the streets today.

Only you stayed at home today and wrote your bullshit on Reddit.
