Protesting Putin: The Russian opposition in exile | DW Documentary
Putin's re-election laid bare the systematic suppression of the opposition. How are Russians-in-exile continuing the struggle?
People who oppose Putin - both in Russia and abroad - used the occasion to ramp up their volume and visibility. But what can they realistically achieve? And will Navalny’s widow Yulia Navalnaya become the new face of the opposition? Filming for this report by Oxana Evdokimova was completed 17 March 2024.

I don't care about Putin, the same way I don't care about any of the Western "leaders" because all of them don't serve the interest of their people. But let's be honest, they are being paid to destabilize Russia, to cause unrest in the country. That's how a coup d'é·tat works.

If it ever happens (I doubt it) it will be 20 years from now minimum, Russians aren’t quite like most people. If you ask any Russian over 40 about the worst years it’s always the 90s, and that’s the only years they actually had democratic freedoms and real elections! Now the older Russians say “we had freedom in the 90s, it was horrible, never again”. So, basically Russia might have democracy once everyone who was 20 or more in the 90s is dead, think 2050! 🥴

Wasn't Navalny a Russian imperialist who supported the war against Ukraine, having been a Russian nationalist? Or so I heard. Russia's imperialism will not go away if Putin were to disappear. Putin is a symptom, not the cause. Whatever the case, she needs to be very careful and keep her head on a swivel at all times. Putin has proven that he's not above killing dissidents and opponents abroad, on multiple occasions.

There's a reason all of Russia's neighbours want to join NATO. Russia has always been an imperialist nation, as long as anybody remembers.

@@lukemurray4950 I disagree on both points as I think this is more of a subjective opinion on what constitutes treason. Legally, treason involves acts that betray one's country and usually requires clear evidence of intent to harm the state. Putin is not the state. Simply receiving support from foreigners doesn't automatically qualify as treason.
Iolanda Navalnaya is too happy for woman who lost husband a month ago 😂
I respect our nowadays government in general, which do they best to support traditional family values, women with children, healthcare and etc.. We have different oppositions as well, and anyhow they work together in our government and deal with Covid, sanctions, terrorism, special military operation bcz of suffered ppl in Donbas.... Those kind of political oppositions doing real things for the ppl in such a big country as well. But Navalni, may he Rest In Peace, did nothing good to our country, unfortunately. He participated in talk shows, had funny tik tok, had some videos on KZread, he could payed only young immature students for the rallies. Y. Navalnaya can make good career maybe in Europe.
