Environmental Protests in Russia, 2013-2025

Abstract

The article analyzes the nature, size, dynamics, and intensity of environmental protests in Russia from 2013 to early 2025. It argues that the nature of protests has partially changed from traditional public demonstrations to online digital protesting activities. Protests have become smaller and more fragmented, while the frequency of protests has increased. This study offers valuable insights into the dynamic of environmental protests over the last decade, especially during the 2020s.
