Do You Think the Sanctions Could Change the Situation?

Russia is already a pretty close society with not a lot of free speech on theyv. They've taken steps about public statements or on social media that could get you thrown in prison for 15 years. But even giving that, you still have hundred and thousands protesters being arrested. I think the more we see from russians themselves, just basically calling b s on his claims of, i am here to defend you... I think that is something that could make a difference.
