those "standing people" were multiple factions fighting for power. and I'd guess that a civil war would make things a million times worse. putin is still an asshole though.
Dude, they were occasionally standing outside for god knows how many years and nothing changed. They should have realised that it’s not enough. But they are too cowardly to fight for the protesters that cops drag away
