This comes after it has been reported that the Central Bank’s Governor Elvira Nabiullina tried to resign in opposition to the Ukraine war, but Vladimir Putin ordered her to remain in her role.

Sergei Guriev, professor of economics at Sciences Po Paris said that Nabiullina, 58, said she “didn’t sign up to work in wartime.”

Anonymous said, “We have been printing anti-propaganda and Tor installation instructions to printers all over [Russia] for 2 hours, and printed 100,000+ copies so far.
