"Ukrainians are our friends." Apollinaria Oleinikova (@missapolly), along with her husband, Arshak Makichyan (@makichyan.arshak), and fellow protester Arina Adju (@arina_adju) have been attending anti-war rallies in Moscow and Saint Petersburg against the invasion of Ukraine.
Authorities in Russia have a low tolerance for demonstrations and marches, and attending them can have serious consequences, including fines, mass arrests and even imprisonment. Despite this, thousands of people in cities across Russia have been defying police threats and staging protests in support of Ukraine.
As the death toll continues to rise, the three young activists we spoke to say they feel like they have no choice but to publicly oppose the Kremlin and stand in solidarity with Ukraine.
