How does this track with Navalny having very little popularity within Russia? Or is misinformation happening here?

    IMO, protests had a max of 100 000 attendees through all of Russia. I was expecting a lot more tbh. It appears I also got swept up in the media coverage.

    U.S. condemns the detention of protesters, invoking a ‘defense of human rights.’

    Would have been cool if someone said something substantial, but I guess today's not the day for that

    Because a lot of people protest the illegal arrest of Navalny, not necessarily in support of him. Its also an anti-Putin protest. And also navalny is pretty popular here, not sure where you got that info from
