Putin shocked by anti-war protests in Russia

I wonder if he was busy building bigger prisons while plotting a war? He's going to need them.
 
according to one report over 1,500 arrests, brutal arrests and so on. So to see politics on the street is, I think, startling to Vladimir Putin as what he dreads the most, what he fears the most is some kind of uprising against him. And so we — we're coming to a reckoning here where internal Russian politics are concerned, too."

i doubt if he cares all that much as there isn't going to be any "uprising"

I think he generally tries to round up the ringleaders and send the them to prison camps; the small fry bail out of jail and have to show up in court and pay a fine. If they don't get beaten by the security forces.

The only ones who seem excited and giddy about Putin's invasion are Moon, and the MAGA contingent.

I have a lot or Russian citizens on my social media contacts, and I am having trouble finding one who wanted this war.

Doesn't Putin have parkinson's disease?
Doesn't Parkinson's cause cognitive impairment? Maybe Putin is suffering from cognitive impairment from Parkinson's.
Methinks someone in his inner circle will take him out. It's like in The Wizard of Oz when Dorothy killed the witch, her soldiers rejoiced that she was dead.

Maybe if Putin starts a nuclear war, they'll call it Putin's disease instead of Parkinson's.

He is a despot, so loss of total control is scary to him. If people can protest against him, he could be overthrown also.

Despots often go after protesters, poets, philosophers, etc. in what seems to us to be insane ways, but are important to them. Putin must be seen as unchallenged.

It still hasn't devolved into Stalinist Russia. It's not even Belarus...yet.

The television protestor lady "only" had to pay a $280 dollar fine for her stunt.

On Tuesday, Ovsyannikova was found guilty by a district court in Moscow of organizing an "unauthorized public event." The "administrative offense" carries a fine of 30,000 rubles (about $280). A lawyer who had formerly been representing Ovsyannikova told CNN that the administrative charge was based solely on a video statement that she recorded prior to appearing with an anti-war poster on Channel One.
