In Russia, there are some signs that opposition to the invasion of Ukraine is beginning to form, but with almost every Russian media outlet under state control - anti-war voices are struggling to be heard. And the Putin regime has a history of suppressing dissent by any and all means. Alexander Litvinenko, a former Russian spy and Putin critic was poisoned on the streets of London in 2006 with the radioactive substance Polonium.

A British legal investigation found Russia responsible for the killing. Litvinenko's widow, Marina, has been a leading critic of Putin and the Russian state. Echoing her late husband's call that they can silence one person, but not the whole world. She is now calling for a stop to Russia's war against Ukraine.
