Russian opposition activists, who were released on Thursday as part of a historic prisoner exchange, are calling on the world to distinguish between the Russian people and its president.

"Don't believe the lies spread by Kremlin propaganda," says freed Russian dissident Vladimir Kara-Murza.

I've interacted with a few cool folks out of Russia

Most just want out of the country, assuming they haven't already left.

It's unrealistic and quite cruel to see people talk about how much it sucks to live under a shitty regime and tell them they have to fix it. Like no. They don't. I hope they can get out of its reach. Move elsewhere where they can live better.

There's no getting away from the fact that it's only the population of Russia that can change Russia. Sure, they can try to escape and leave, but that just leaves those who remain as the only ones able to do anything.
