Putin Faces Second Revolt as Russian Officials Slam War, Demand Resignation
"The letter addressed to the president by council deputies at Lomonosovsky Municipal District did not directly mention Putin's invasion of Ukraine, but did refer to how Russia had now become "feared and hated" while "aggression" has taken the country back to the "Cold War era."
"The rhetoric that you and your subordinates are using has been riddled with intolerance and aggression for a long time, which in the end
effectively threw our country back into the Cold War era," the letter said.
"Russia has again begun to be feared and hated, we again threaten the whole world with nuclear weapons," it added. "
We ask you to relieve yourself of your post due to the fact that your views, your management model are hopelessly outdated and hinder the development of Russia and its human potential."
Journalist and Russia watcher Julia Davis tweeted how the council had voted on the motion and produced the letter, which was also reported by the independent Russian-language news outlet The Insider.
"
Criticism of Putin is rare, & while the two motions were little more than symbolic statements, they represented a remarkable public rebuke," Davis wrote.
Newsweek has contacted the Kremlin and Lomonosovsky Municipal District Council for comment."

Wow. Those council members need to make sure they're not standing near any high windows and to check their tea before they drink it from now on.
