I was wrong

Some Russian politicians are against the invasion of Ukraine, as are various others. Its clearly not something which many Russians want.

Mikhail Matveyev, a member of the State Duma, called on the Kremlin on Saturday to stop the invasion.

“By voting to recognise the independence of the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics, I voted for peace, not a war. For Russia to become a shield for the Donbas, not for bombing Kyiv,” he said.
Another MP, Communist Oleg Smolin, said on Friday he was “shocked” by the invasion and was sorry for the loss of life.

Their statements came amid a myriad of anti-war petitions from Russian teachers, scientists and doctors."

Lets hope those MPs dont suddenly disappear never to be heard from again!

That has to be a possibility - Putin seems ruthless. It would be an excellent outcome if some of his cronies decided he's just gone too far & 'retire' him, hopefully replacing him with someone less brutal & more reasonable.
But that's probably wishing for the moon.
