As scenes of destruction in Ukraine poured in early Thursday, antiwar demonstrations broke out in several cities across Russia to condemn Vladimir Putin's brutal invasion. Now, it's hard to overstate the sheer bravery it takes for these protests to be happening in the first place; Russians know that they are defying police threats and face imminent arrest by taking to the streets. But another thing worth underscoring is the reported shock among protesters, which even includes some of Putin's longtime supporters, that the Russian leader is carrying out his brutal invasion.
