"If Putin was strong, he wouldn't have stolen the elections"
Yulia Navalnaya, widow of late opposition leader Alexei Navalny, and Russian opposition politicians Ilya Yashin and Vladimir Kara-Murza have urged Russians living in exile to travel to Berlin to take part in an anti-war protest on November 17.
In a video message, Navalnaya, Yashin and Kara-Murza asked viewers to:
"Look towards a future that each of us dreams of. A future in which Russia is a country living in peace with its neighbors. A country that is respected and not afraid, a country that guarantees freedom, justice and security to its citizens, adding that only one man - Vladimir Putin - stands in the way of achieving this goal."
The three political dissidents also accused Mr Putin of turning Russia "into an evil empire and blackmailing the world with nuclear weapons".
"If Putin were strong, he would not rewrite the constitution and steal elections. If he really felt the support of the people, he would not give the order to kill his political opponents. If Putin really trusted him, he would not have sent hundreds of people to prison who opposed war and tyranny," the 3 Russian political opponents said.
