Yelena Osipova, who is well know not only for her activism and art but for surviving the Nazi’s Siege of Leningrad as a baby, was seen holding signs that included messages urging soldiers to lay down their arms. Osipova’s protest in light of Russia’s continued crackdown on demonstrations, which have reportedly seen as many as 7,603 people arrested across the country since the invasion began, spurred many online to commend her bravery.
