Opposition to Putin's war is alive on Moscow's streets. But no trace of it is covered on Russian TV

More than 6,400 Russians have been arrested in anti-war protests since President Vladimir Putin's troops invaded Ukraine, but not one bone-crunching detention has made state TV.
Navigating the paradoxes of Putin's authoritarian rule is a way of life here. Intuition nourished by a lifetime of state-fed lies gets most people through. And for many it consists of a quiet life with a steady income.
But what's happening now may be challenging some to push out of the old boundaries of the 'see but don't question orthodoxy' that historically reinforced Putin's grip on power.
