IMO, fifty Russian politicians speaking out and not fearing for their lives is incredible. The end is near!

no. they are more dangerous than he is. they're the hawkish oligarchs, not true dissidents wanting peace. they're the only ones who can speak out. as far down the fascist road as we are looking here, those 'speaking out' in Russia are NOT who you think. and don't want what we want.

Brave or egotistical?

In PutinтАЩs Russia any low-level (municipal) official who publicly criticizes the top dog is definitely brave and/or suicidal.

Yes, there's a track record of low level politicians "falling out of windows" or "sinking on their yachts."
