Authoritarians like Putin try to appear strong & popular, but their corruption often makes them the most fragile, vulnerable leaders of all.https://twitter.com/cnnbrk/status/874220818389241857 …
I hope the Russian people won't be deterred from protesting government corruption today and that Navalny will be released soon & unscathed.

Meanwhile, President Trump's likely silence on the matter will remind us again where he stands on liberty. Putin's challenges are also his.

Putin probably told the head of the GRU "...he HOPED Navalny would be detained before joining the citizens at the protest"

It's so difficult for Russians to protest, knowing that so many who've opposed Putin have been killed or have simply disappeared.

The fact that there are Americans who admire Putin, is far beyond sad, clear into disgusting. Do they not realize the freedom we have here?

This guy is incredibly brave. I feel an affinity towards the Russians these days... both have a leader we would rather not have

How can we show the protesters support? I have no qualms with the Russian people, just the Russian mobocracy
