Kremlin crackdown silences war protests, from benign to bold

Marat Grachev, director of a shop that repairs Apple devices, poses with a sign in Russian that reads "No to war" in the background, in Moscow, Russia, on Wednesday, March 16, 2022. Customers who came into the store expressed support when they saw the sign, but one elderly man demanded it be taken down, threatening to report Grachev to the authorities. Police soon showed up, and Grachev was charged with discrediting the military as part of an official crackdown against protests. (Anna Matveeva via AP)
