Anti-war protests in Russia have been rare since the Kremlin passed a new law that carries a heavy prison sentence for anyone questioning Moscow’s “special operation.” Calling it a war or even holding up a white piece of paper is now enough to get you arrested. With street protests virtually illegal, activists across the country are trying to find other, more creative ways to protest. One of the most vocal and organized anti-war forces, the Feminist Anti-War Resistance, has launched a campaign called “Mariupol5000” to place 5,000 crosses and makeshift tombstones across the country in memory of those killed in the Mariupol siege. .
