Many Russians have joined protests against their government after the invasion of Ukraine. Law enforcement has been seen trying to break up the protests. Protesters took to the streets in Moscow and other Russian cities on Friday to condemn the invasion of Ukraine. Several hundred people spontaneously gathered in the city center, chanting "No to war!", as police in full riot gear arrested one protester after another. There were 437 political arrests in 26 Russian cities, according to the OVD-Info rights group. According to media reports, police in Moscow were detaining random people. On Thursday, thousands of people took to the streets across Russia. OVD-Info said 1,002 demonstrators were arrested in Moscow on Thursday night. The scale of the protests was downplayed by the Kremlin spokesman, who said that the president heard everyone's opinion and also knew the share of those who disagreed with him. Ramzan Kadyrov, the leader of Chechnya, supported the attack on Ukraine. The Chechen media reported on Friday that Kadyrov called in 12,000 security forces operatives to Grozny for an operational readiness check. According to a local news site, Chechnya Today, Kadyrov said they were prepared to take part in any special operation, and urged Zelenskyy to call Putin. The editor-in chief of Russia's state-funded TV channel, Margarita Simonyan, posted a video on Telegram showing Russian armored vehicles rolling through a rural area and a man shouting, " God save you, guys!"

Those who spoke out against the invasion were facing repercussions.

Channel One, a popular state TV station, decided to replace entertainment shows with news and political shows because of the current situation. The decision to remove the show from the schedule had nothing to do with his post, according to the channel's spokespeople. Russia's state communications and internet watchdog announced partial restrictions on access to Facebook in response to the platform limiting the accounts of several Kremlin officials. It didn't say what its restrictions implied. The platform didn't comply with the agency's demand to lift restrictions on state news agencies and websites. The Facebook moves included marking their content as unreliable and imposing restrictions on search results to reduce the publications audience on Facebook. Russia's Foreign Ministry and the Prosecutor General's office found that Facebook was in violation of fundamental human rights and freedoms.
