I'm Russian. I've been doing everything I can (legally and peacefully) to protest against the regime here for last 10 years. I participated in protests, fought with propaganda on social networks, talked with my friends and relatives who watch TV a lot and showed them a different point of view. Yep, it's clearly that it wasn't enough — the regime is still here. Right now I feel screwed. My mates who just left the country for good and obtained EU\US\etc residence permits have no problems right now, but me, who tried to do something to change what's happening in my country, have problems.
