"Hundreds arrested in protests across Russia after announcement of partial mobilization, monitoring group says"
"More than 500 people have been detained across Russia in a crackdown on anti-war protests across two dozen cities in Russia, according to the independent monitoring group OVD-Info.
About 100 arrests were made at protests in St. Petersburg after President Vladimir Putin's announcement of a partial mobilization to increase the availability of troops for the war in Ukraine.
Photos released on OVD-Info's Telegram channel showed police in Saint Petersburg using batons against protesters. Videos show police attempting to contain a crowd gathering at Isakiivskiy Cathedral behind barriers, amid chants of “no mobilization."
Social media video geolocated by CNN showed protests in several cities, each involving what appear to have been a few dozen people.
Videos from Moscow showed protestors being carried away by the police at a demonstration in the center of the city.
One video posted by a journalist from the Moscow web publication The Village includes dozens of people in Arbatskaya street chanting “let him go” as one man is carried away.
There was also video from the city of Yekaterinburg of a struggle between police officers and protesters.
As of 8 p.m. Moscow time, 535 people had been detained in 30 cities across Russia, according to OVD-Info.
Arrests took place in Irkutsk and Krasnoyarsk, Yekaterinburg, Chelyabinsk, Novosibirsk, Ulan-Ude, Tomsk, Ufa, Perm, Belgorod and Moscow, according to the OVD-info tally.
Moscow prosecutor's office published a statement Wednesday warning citizens against participation in protests, threatening those with up to 15 years in jail."

Russian TV propagandist Solovyov gets drafted and goes crazy.
So funny: https://twitter.com/R82938886/st…
- Now ... I don't know if these subs are in any way accurate translations (and I certainly do not speak Ruskie), but the thing that stands out for me here is thatContinuity
- ... every single one of these 'people' speaking seems to know that Mother russia is losing, and losing hard in Ukraine. Sausage grinder? Die in the Donbas?Continuity
- All of that speaks for itself.Continuity
- I rather suspect all of these orcs — if they really said what the subs said — will be getting some pretty uncomfortable FSB visits soon.Continuity

"Putin’s old washing machine sitting atop of his car whilst fleeing from Dresden. I just found the story in Daniel Yergin’s (not Bill Browder) book The New Map, p 75, chapter Putin’s Great Project. The BBC mentions Putin had £200 in savings at the time."

and lots more stuff about Putin's life here: https://www.bbc.com/news/magazin…
""Their German friends give them a 20-year-old washing machine and with this they drive back to Leningrad," says Putin biographer and critic Masha Gessen. "There's a strong sense that he was serving his country and had nothing to show for it.""
