If you have something to tell me: do it. Though, keep in mind, you don't own this place. As you don't own Russia.
This is a USA site and they observe liberty of speech. Something a ziganaut cannot understand.
You live in a NATO country and act against it. This shoe doesn't squeeze anywhere? Should I alert Canadian authorities?
Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya speaks for the Belarusians in exile. Russian anti-putin anti-war exile would gain if it had one. But no, I am not one.
Any time there is a possiblity of a woman against war in a leadership role I am interested.
I think she must be enormously brave and strong-willed just to put her name out there.
Maybe there is not much hope for her, but her challenge chips away at male, autocratic, warmonering dominance.
What woman, mother, or grandmother would not applaud her?

Maybe an issue of translation and misinterpretation on my part.
Of course I hope for this brave young woman with all my heart.

Today they denied here registering as a runner for presidency in the same - the very same - words as they did to Navalny a few years ago: "You are too young... go and have a life..."
You know where Navalny is now, don't you? Well... I don't.

There's a reason for the word Londongrad.
If your government would express some concern about conditions and state of the possibilities or the current power to be changed in an election...
...everybody will die laughing.
would she had pulled back the troops from "occupied land"?
Was that in her program?

Are you waiting for "siloviki" to drag her by her hair so that you'd able to make a joke of humour?

in Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia oblasts
if Russian forces are to leave them behind.
That comes across as too risky
so it's better to let Russia control that part from now on.
Agree?
a bunch, to let Azov come at them again is not ideal.

People, both russophones or otherwise of those places you've named are either emigrated, mostly to Poland, some to the Western parts of Ukraine to relatives / friends or to Russia (because the"green" corridore was only open to the Russian side - you've read about it, didn't you? If not: "Important stories" provide a lot of information about it. Mariupol - read about it.) or farther to EU and USA and other part of the globe, and through Baltic counties westward and on... Point is: not possible to trace. Point also is: they didn't want to remain under the "Russian world". And it's Russian-speaking population, mind.
The thing you cannot grasp is: the Eastern part of Ukraine, the Russian-speaking one, it is the very part that is suffering in the war. It is this population that Russian army loot, torture, rape, kill. It is this population, that is in exile. It is that population, that does not - NOT - want to live under putin.
I don't want live under putin. He is KGBshnik, thief, killer, usurper, war criminal. Those, who support him, either do it for money or are just stupid people. (There are plenty of those...)
You?
You are one of those men, who are happy, when women, especially young women, get hurt. It's closest you can get to them. You are a nit.
Let putin have that part cos its dominated by Russians that Zelensky never cared a heck of a lot about.
If they had not fired upon his forces february 2022 everything would have been much better.

She may still work as an protest activist but she will be arrested or assassinated without doubt.

Diversion: a few weeks ago, relatives to a mother, living in a remote region (Buryatia) to a son, who died in this war, told her that her son died in a war with NATO. They say that she would never believe that he died in a war with Ukraine. That's outside her understanding.
But back to Duntsova. She is a very brave decent woman, who have both moral and courage. A lot more than you can say of many men, both in Russia and elsewhere. I don't believe she'll be "allowed" - you need allowance from huilo, never mind the constitution - to run, though she is still trying this and that... latest attempt: she asked Yabloko (an established party) to have her as their candidate, on which the old prostitute Yavlinsky (leader) answered he doesn't know who she is... Well... everybody else knows, but him...
Nonetheless, don't forget her! The more people remember her, the more hope she'll survive until putin's death or the court in Hague.
At last, from the moral part of view.
The demographic and the economic perspectives are dreadful, though :/

I am also a woman.
Zelensky ran and won as a Russian-speaker. He spoke Russian until 24th Feb 2022. After that he switched to Ukrainian (and still makes errors).
I am wondering about your opinion on what to do with Russian-speaking population in the Baltic countries. For ex: ca 40% of Lithuanian population have Russian as native and now Lithuanian authorities, chosen during democratic procedures, want those people to have some basic Lithuanian or leave the country, thank you. Should putin start a special military operation of looting, raping, killing the Lithuanians in order to support Russian-speakers there? What's about Latvia and Estland? Or Kazakhstan?
In Sep 2022 putin started mogilization and ca 500 000 (lowest estimate) people, mostly young men, some with families, left Russia. A lot of them went to Georgia. Some to Serbia. Some made it to Thailand. What are conditions for learning and maintaining Russian language there?
Aching for the answer.

Here is what is inclear to me, yes I still have things to learn to get a deeper understanding of the background here. Being you have more insight to the situation I wonder of you can tell me in simple terms, how did the unrest start in Donbass in 2014. One side say the russia backed seperatists wanted to go out of Ukraine and start a state of their own of no perticulart reason and that Russia was pushing on that for own reasons: to get hold of rich mines and factories in Donbass.
The other version is that Kiev was going too fast westwards and Donbass people felt threthened and with support from Moscow they started a self defence uprising towards Azov bulles sent from Kiev. Was Kiev afraid to lose taxes and income from Donbass?
This stuff is unclear to me but I know the Americans was already being hangarounds and usually that can make for a regime change that not always is to the bast of a land. Often then corrupt leaders tend to sell out a lot of rights to multinational mega concerns in return of personal wealth.
So that story is not very well understood by me.
What I can understand is that Putin felt threatened by Nato and always felt disrespected by the neverending eastern expansion and draw the line here. That reason I get.
But the Donbass stuff going on since 2014 with many civilian deaths, I could learn more about.

Still aching for your solution for pacifying Russophones aroung the globe. Especially in those countries, that consider Russia as occupier and suppressor. Either former or latent.
Yakutia, aka Sokha enters the chat :)

See you later.

You typed a lot about "dombing bambass" and all that putin's propaganda stuff about "8 years". I provided a link, with English subtitles, to the summary on the very same matter. This summary is based on facts. The said facts are provided in the said summary. But of course, it's for the people, who want to know facts. Not for those, who want to repeat propaganda. (In Russia, those, who believe in propaganda, are called "shit-eaters". Inherited from Brezhnev times. But you are not supposed to know.)
I also wondered about your solution for the Russian-speaking population in the Baltic countries, Kazakhstan, Georgian and in every other place, there Russian speakers leave. Estimation: 20-30 millions currently. Or is it only Ukraine, that matters. Why?
Apart from the recent article about the barring of Duntsova I suspect there has been no news here in distant Australia.
On the other hand two of the recent American presidential candidates also seemed unlikely, for racial/gender reasons, yet one famously succeeded and one famously failed. Russia of course is a totally different kettle of fish and Russian succession is simply not in the hands of the people. Defenestration is a method known to have been used on occasion to discourage opposition.
"through their own words, they will be exposed".
What you reveal is anger towards Putin. That is fine, you have your reasons.
But it is not what I need here. I know many hate him, I have just not seen myself what makes him so bad.
The same with Trump: they say he is bad but everytime I ask what it is I gat some weak woolen answer.
Predictable your link is one and a half hour long. I was after your own assesment, cos that is blogs to me.
You might think I will use what you say against you but no, I was from a neutral standpoint genuinly interested of what you (who is on the other side of the viewpoint here than me) think about it, personally. So I maybe could learn something from it. However I'll skim through the 1.5 hour long anti-Putin doku to see what is the conclusion. Perhaps I can see in comments and save some time.

Russia is a country of bandits. It’s not a secret that former KGB employees created gangs there. Putin, as a former KGB person, is exactly like that. just his scale is all of Russia, and not individual regions. then he wanted to take control of Ukraine, which was and still is as corrupt as Russia, but it decided to head west direction... of course it will be a long journey, more than one decade, but that’s what the people of this country decided. the main KGB bandit didn’t like it... it’s just like some group of a mafia gang got out of his control. That's the truth in a few words . in fact, there are many more nuances and details that you can learn when you are ready for it
I think I understand.
The people of Donbas themselves what do they feel,
do they feel robbed of EU membership most of them?
Anyhoo, cool.
I suppose one day the truth will come about,
when the smoke clears.
