Nothing like 40 years of political maneuvering and policy influence throughout a system of government to unravel.
Small consolation, while many work to also influence local offices and political bodies to properly prop up their power, it’s also some of the easiest areas to get your foot in the door and make change yourself.
Hell, even under the Putin regime, opposition thrives in areas like schoolboards and townhalls, they tend not to be the ones thrown out windows. Just high enough to make a difference, too small to be noticed.
Lol unless the industrial complex keeps growing surveillance and monitoring without hard laws put in place, in which case oh well.

I don’t feel like the opposition is thriving anywhere on a significant scale, tbh. Even small communities get scared away by class traitors
