In Russia, resistance to the strict curfews is forming on the Internet. Nationwide, Russians are also demanding government compensation for lost jobs and income.
The resignation of Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin has also been requested. For this purpose, people use the online platform Yandex to leave protest messages on road maps with a special comment function. Many people demand that a state of emergency be officially declared in Russia, as in other former Soviet republics, in order to be entitled to state aid. “”A realistic death from starvation is worse than the hypothetical death from the virus,” wrote one citizen on the Internet platform.
Others complained that they had no income but were not exempted from their running costs.
