He should be careful over there. He might end up with the opportunity to do a lot of Method prep for a future role in an Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn biopic.

And I honestly don’t wish that on anyone

From the BBC liveblog:

More than 1,700 people have been arrested during anti-war protests across dozens of cities in Russia, an independent monitor reports.

More than 900 were arrested in Moscow and over 400 in Saint Petersburg, according to OVD-Info, which tracks arrests at opposition rallies.

Thousands gathered near Pushkin Square in central Moscow, while up to 1,000 people gathered in the former imperial capital Saint Petersburg, the AFP news agency reports.

“No to war” was spray-painted on the front gate of the Russian parliament’s lower house.

“I am in shock. My relatives and loved ones live in Ukraine,” Anastasia Nestulya, 23, told AFP in Moscow.

“What can I tell them over the phone? You hang in there?”

I did read that a Turkish tanker was hit…no injuries and was able to still move on it’s own. I don’t know the details beyond that.

Remember that time Russia got Booed over Crimea?
