Smart move. If you defect now, you will be a hero. If you wait, not so much. Russian World Bank adviser quits in protest at invasion of Ukraine https://t.co/RWrpusyF1W — PolitiTweet.org

Putin is slaughtering innocent civilians -- Russians and Ukrainians alike -- but somehow I am the "villain" for some on this platform. Oh well. Moving forward. — PolitiTweet.org

How can you bombard civilians in Kharkiv and still claim you are "liberating" Russians from Neo-Nazi oppression? So many ethnic Russians and Russian speakers live there! — PolitiTweet.org

@PGourevitch I disagree. In 2003, would you have argued that German citizens did not have the right to call on Americans to protest with greater vigor against that war? (& lets be clear, protestors in Russia today are NOT being killed.) — PolitiTweet.org
Michael McFaul @McFaul
@PGourevitch That's why I deleted it. But you should know, that many Russian political activists believe exactly what I tweeted. They are frustrated that more have not joined them in denouncing this war. I'm just reporting here. — PolitiTweet.org

Ok, now moving on. But if you want to learn more about conditions under which non-violent civic resistance succeeded and failed, check out the syllabus to my current course: POLISCI 342G, "Political Mobilization and Democratic Breakthroughs" https://t.co/yhSgs63Sbe 15/ END — PolitiTweet.org

This is exactly the frustration I hear from my Ukrainian friends and Russian democratic activists regarding Russian society. Exactly. Their passivity regarding Putin helped create the permissive conditions of his dictatorship and now this war. 14/ — PolitiTweet.org

Their arguments reminded me of MLKs frustration with the "moderates" while he sat in jail in Birmingham. That's who I had in mind when I wrote that tweet. Let me quote him. 8/ — PolitiTweet.org

The whole purpose of sanctions from the West is to put pressure on Russian society -- from oligarchs to students -- to put pressure on Putin to end the war. These are not targeted sanctions. 6/ — PolitiTweet.org

From jail in Russia, @navalny has made the exact same plea, calling on his fellow citizens to protest in large numbers to end the war. 4/ — PolitiTweet.org
Michael McFaul @McFaul
People I know personally in Ukraine -- people close to @ZelenskyyUa -- make this argument. They have called on Russians to protest to end this war. They have asked me to amplify their plea. 3/ — PolitiTweet.org
