I’d have thought the Belarusian protests were more equivalent to the Russian protests - they are both about politics and their political systems are much more similar than a comparison to racial protests in the USA.

BLM isn't racial. WIKI:
Quote:
Black Lives Matter (BLM) is a decentralized political and social movement protesting against incidents of police brutality and all racially motivated violence against black people.
By the way: nobody protests here "against political system". But some dreams to change president.
Here are about 40 political parties and is much more diversity of political views than in bipolar US. Lukashenko from Belarus got power at time of USSR fall. Putin was elected. The only thing what you may to compare is time of ruling: Lukashenko 26, Lee Hsien Loong 16, Putin 16 (21 with time of PM), Merkel 15, Netanyahu 15.

I do love a man with a sense of humour. However I take at face value your assurance that there is no equivalence between the political and social systems of Russia and the USA, with which I agree wholeheartedly.

Indeed and I shall remind you of it often.

heh, they threw him back in prison for 2.5 years for breaking probation of all things. His defense was that he was in a coma in Germany after a military grade merder attempt, but the court wasn't having it, so back to prison for 2.5 years he goes. Sure enough, new protests country wide now breaking out.

Navalny was discharged from hospital at October 12. So it should be expected what they will close him behand the bars and I wrote about it month ago. Why he should be exclusion from the law?

Putin's approval rating dropped 1% - from 65% to 64% after "Navalny's story"
Trusting to Navalny raised and now is 5% of Russian population.
Do you need other numbers?
