Remember that people in Russia have been protesting against Putin for years with 2020 having on of the largest protests after rigging yet another election, he’s stolen the vast majority of their wealth, has turned the country into a authoritarian police state where thousands who speak out have been arrested.

But people in Russia have continued to protest for LGBT rights, to end corrupt elections, and for the war to end, you just haven’t noticed cause it didn’t effect you.

I get that most people on tumblr may not get what it’s like to be born into a dictatorship and are in general a ignorant people, but seeing people on here justify their racism by saying stuff like, “All the Russians fleeing actually pro war and racist, they just don’t want to fight” or “They should have just overthrown Putin” is genuinely disgusting and a borderline repeat of the Red Scare

Journalists are civilians under international law and deliberately attacking or harming them is a war crime!

Russian journalist and activist Oksana Baulina has been killed by Russian shelling in Kyiv today. Working for the Insider, an independet Russian news website, she was targeting Russian government corruption and war crimes in Ukraine.

She is only one of a number of reporters and correspondents that have so far died during Russia’s war on Ukraine, among them Brent Renaud

Oleksandra Kuvshynova 

Pierre Zakrzweski

 and Yevhenii Sakun

.Meanwhile there are increasing reports of journalists, especially Ukrainian journalists, being targeted, abducted and in at least one case tortured by Russian forces.
