The Council of the Smolninskoye municipal formation in St. Petersburg has adopted a decision to call on deputies of the State Duma, Russia’s highest legislative body, to bring treason charges against President Putin in order to dismiss him from office.

This is a fascinating insight into "normal" Russians and the effects that sanctions aren't having. They are relatively untroubled by Putin's war, and are not particularly bothered by his actions: "Putin and the government may be shit, but it's ours..."
Rural Russians live a healthy and authentic life, on the whole, finding much in the forest to live in self-sufficient abundance.
n.b. the fireweed they refer to for making their tea is what we would call Rosebay Willowherb, a good staple for foragers, you can eat the pith of the plant before it flowers and it is a refreshing apple/melon flavoured pick-me-up whilst on a ramble. They use the leaves to make a healthy fermented tea.
Sad that I have to go on Twitter for updates on what could be a turning point for the free world while our tv channels are nothing but hours long footage of a coffin in a car.

I no longer have a TV. Everything hits Twitter way, way before the media with the right follows.

I'm sure that will be massively popular in Russia. Wonder if Putin will suddenly find himself dying peacefully in his sleep after falling from a 10 storey building soon.
