To split?

I suggest to split "Rallies in support of the government" and ""Anti-Orange" protests" to separate sub-articles and only briefly mention them here, simply because these are slightly different subjects. My very best wishes (talk) 19:48, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

LGBT protests

I think you should mention LGBT as one of the reason behind protests, at infobox as well as summary. Sources[1], [2], [3]. Bladesmulti (talk) 06:36, 29 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Added to infobox. Bladesmulti (talk) 16:06, 4 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

New protests

There have been new protests recently, they've been caused by opposition to the country's anti-gay laws, the ongoing incarceration of avtivists, anger over all the money beign spent on the 2014 Winter Olympics, and inspiration from Ukraine's Euromaidan. Charles Essie (talk) 17:03, 15 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

IMO, this should be dealt with in a separate article (if there's enough notability), unless a clear relation to the previous protests is showed. There are protests and demonstrations taking place all the time in different countries, e.g., in the UK, which doesn't mean we should put them all (or some of them) arbitrarily together under one article. --2002:4E54:2588:0:0:0:4E54:2588 (talk) 16:30, 8 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

2011 Russian legislative election protests → 2011–13 Russian protests – Article was moved without discussion in Feb 2015. Protests were not only against election results, but against government in general. Also it lasted 3 years, not one. Relisted. Jenks24 (talk) 19:04, 18 June 2015 (UTC) --Relisted.

How about Snow Revolution? Charles Essie (talk) 22:00, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support. I came here to find out the name of this article so I could make a link to it; of course, the scope of the protests was not limited to the legislative election, and "2011–13 Russian protests" is the perfect title for the article. "Snow Revolution" is a term that was used by some media during the period of the most active protests, but I'd say, it didn't stand the test of time (unlike, say, Orange Revolution).--R8R (talk) 23:08, 19 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Total failure

The 'total failure' bullet point under 'resulted in' is highly subjective and doesn't communicate anything factual that isn't already communicated in the bullets before it.

While they can fail to achieve their objectives, protests are never 'total failures.' We would never say, for example, that any one US Civil Rights protest was a 'total failure', since the history is never finished being written.

A journalist in the 1950s should give the facts, that a protest happened and was repressed, rather than give their opinion that it was a failure. In the same way, this is opinion and should be removed, since if Putin's regime were to collapse in the future, this page will look silly to have definitively said that protests against his regime counted for nothing. 86.9.223.155 (talk) 20:34, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
