Is the Russian opposition even relevant? The question of how much influence the Russian opposition currently living abroad actually has or potentially can have on Russian society is worth asking since the opposition inside Russia has been completely suppressed. After the Russian opposition speakers concluded, the floor was given to MEPs, who shared their thoughts and emotions and asked questions. There is no doubt that the three Russian opposition leaders deserve respect and recognition for their courage, unwavering stance against the Russian regime, genuine sacrifice, and the suffering they have endured. Opposition leaders have urged the world not to forget Russia’s political prisoners – those jailed for expressing opposition to the war.
