Do you believe in protest? It was an anxious weekend in Russia and Belarus: thousands of people took to the streets to claim for answers from their governments. Hundreds of protestants were arrested (including older people, women, students and even kids). Anyway, they don’t get the answers: protests were totally ignored by main mass media and by the governments. Are the protests worthwhile? On the one hand, politicians should know that people disagree with them. On the other hand, you can be arrested, expelled from university/college/school, injured or even killed, you can lose your job. Is it worth it? Are the protestants just a bunch of people screaming into the void or can they actually change something?
