The tragic experience of the twentieth century should have been enough to convince Putin that Moscow’s intrusion into its neighbors’ lives wouldn’t bring them closer to Russia, but drive them further away. That’s what happened after the Soviet annexation of the Baltic states in 1940, after the Soviet invasion of Hungary in 1956, and, of course, during the Prague Spring of 1968. Evidently, President Putin would rather lecture people about history than learn from it.

Not at all.
Its their country....if they want to protest about something why shouldn't they?
Do you think protestors should be arrested?
Just a general observation: Where did the OP mention anything about Canada?
Just curious as a lot of people seem to be bringing Canada into the conversation and to be honest I don't really see the relevance?

The vast majority of the truckers trucked off without being arrested - it was only a small group that tussled with the riot police and found out. I imagine these Russian protesters will not be so lucky.
