Amsterdam – Protests in Russia against the war in Ukraine are increasing, and not just among ‘ordinary’ citizens. Russian politicians and ‘known Russians’ are also speaking out against the invasion. For example, communist parliamentarian Michael Matveev declared that “the war must be stopped immediately.” And the well-known talk show host Ivan Urgant also spoke out against the invasion. His show was immediately canceled.
