Data Points with Context "Russia war in Ukraine and perceptions within Russia"

Protests erupted in Baymak, Bashkortostan, Russia, following the sentencing of Indigenous rights activist Fail Alsynov to four years in a penal colony. The court accused Alsynov of inciting ethnic hatred during a speech opposing a gold mine development. Supporters, estimated at 3,000, clashed with police, leading to arrests and tear gas use. Alsynov claims his words were mistranslated. The protest is considered one of Russia's largest since the Ukraine war. Alsynov, fined last year for criticizing the war, leads Bashkort, a banned grassroots movement preserving regional culture. Indigenous peoples in Russia, facing rights challenges, often defend traditional territories amid resource extraction projects.

In the Russian town of Borovsk, artist Vladimir Ovchinnikov is taking a stand against the Russian war in Ukraine by painting images around the town. Authorities have been fining him, and removing the art work. He is continuing to paint them, risking further punishment such as jail time.
