Well, one by one Russian people wont be able to do something against the regime, only huge mass protests could make a difference. But there is a catch, Putin wont just peacefully looking out from the window, he will use brutal force to suppress them, while talking about doing the right thing...Its not looking good.

True, but the more we see these young heroes go to jail, the more people hate putin's regime. At least I wanna believe it.

Imo sentences are usually reflective of the support something has from the general population. 

He voiced support for FRL which most Russians consider treason right now.

I think after about 2 and a half years we can quite clearly say this with certainty.
