Anti-War Committee of Russia
- ... that following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, a diverse group of exiled Russian public figures formed the Anti-War Committee of Russia to unite different political movements to oppose the war?
“ In videos shared on social media Wednesday, eight of the country’s leading opposition voices — including former oil baron Mikhail Khodorkovsky, Alexei Navalny ally Lyubov Sobol and former chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov — called on Russians to resist Kremlin propaganda and push back against the war on Ukraine. ”
“ “We all represent different political movements. But we have merged into one anti-war committee, because we believe that our country does not need this war,” said Khodorkovsky.
The initiative marks a rare moment of unity in Russia’s opposition, which is known for bitter division and infighting. ”

Interesting initiative, on fine sources. Foreign sources accepted AGF, and extra thanks for translating ref titles. I don't think that we need the introduction in the hook- ALT0a: ... that a diverse group of exiled Russian public figures formed the Anti-War Committee of Russia, uniting different political movements to oppose the 2022 war?
- ALT0b: ... that in 2022, a diverse group of exiled Russian public figures united different political movements in the Anti-War Committee of Russia to oppose the war?
- In the article: I am used to European date format for Russian topics. I wonder if the elapsed time in the ibox is needed. I don't need 5 refs for one fact, and I like them in numerical order. "General references" is an unusual header, and then what I get is not what the title says, which needs to be fixed. (The others are optional.) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:10, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
- Promoter's comment to @Gerda Arendt: these hooks will be a part of wikipedia's record indefinitely; it's important that they're placed in the appropriate context, even if said context seems eye-rollingly obvious now. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 08:30, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
