Anti-Putin Protests Are Being Led By The Young

WNU Editor: I have noticed this trend in the past two years. Russia's 16 - 25 years old are now 100% against Putin and the establishment that

runs Russia, and are using the internet to mobilize .... Young Russians taking the lead in anti-Putin protests (AP). The last time I saw something like this where the young led the protest movement was the unrest in China in 1988-1989 that led to the Tiananmen Square massacre. And while I do not see such a violent crackdown happening in Russia, I do know that the Kremlin feels powerless to stop these current protests, and that using intimidation and the threat of arrests are no longer working as an effective deterrent.
