-- "In a rare act of public dissent against the war, the Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta has announced that its next edition will come out in Russian and Ukrainian languages. Dmitry Muratov, the Nobel prize-winning editor of the paper, said that 'together with our grief we feel shame' about a war that he directly blamed on Vladimir Putin." --
“'What’s the next step?' he said. 'A nuclear salvo?'" --
AND IT APPEARS TO HAVE SOME TRACTION -- "I watched hundreds of people on a bitterly cold evening in Moscow on Thursday, as they marched against what the government here describes as a 'special military operation' in Ukraine. Over 1,200 have already been arrested in more than 50 towns and cities across the country for publicly opposing the attack." --
