It's all nonsense. Know why Ukraine won a protest, but in Russia don't win? Because in Ukraine the cops would arrest a man in the crowd. The protesters fought for everyone. And the cops could not come to dissatisfied. In Russia, everything is different. Nobody beats with the cops. Cowards don't deserve to win.
@Barrymore was also surprised they didn't go after the cops. Here the Philippines cops TAKE a beating when they try to beat up protesters. Maybe they're not angry enough?
I didn't understand well the point. In many countries there are a lot of people serving long prison sentences for 'resisting' the police. There is not really a smart way to fight in the short term because you just go to jail for a long time. In the United States there are literally tens of thousands of people who would have gotten little or no jail, but because they opposed some aspect of gangsterism the hammer came down on them.
Look at
Leonard Peltier, a Native who was put in jail basically because he didn't take shit.

Aaron Swartz, a computer expert who invented some of the cutting edge technology we still use, hacked a library database to give students a full discount so they could research easily, the federal police told him cooperate or die in prison.

To see examples how the U.S. neutralizes protesters look at some of the black panthers and similar types swept into prison on dubious evidence during the FBI Cointelpro days

Look what happened to this poor old crackpot back when there was no internet and people couldn't set up countermeasures

"The first documentation ... surfaced in March of 1971 when the Citizens Commission to Investigate the FBI broke into a small FBI office in Media Pennsylvania and expropriated over 1000 FBI documents."
