Is there any official Russian Government offices in Boston?

That would be a better place to protest.

Not all demonstrations are protests.
Just like a protest is not a riot.
Time to replace that leaky overton window.
Language lesson?

There's more than a few foreign diplomatic missions in Boston and the area, but not from the Russian Federation. You'd have to go to New York for a consulate, or DC for the embassy.

I did not know of many of these consulates in the area until just now: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_diplomatic_m...

I'd like to see some Russian officials afraid to leave a building because protesters are there.

Or, shall we say, the likes of Little Tucker Frozen Boy and his friends. They seem to have moved on from sedition into full blown treason, complete with global-level DARVO (deny, attack, reverse victim and offender).
What that has to do with my post is a mystery.

Fox News has been carrying water for Putin for the last 8-10 years or so. They might not be officially working for Russia, but there's not much distinction in doing it ad-hoc.
OK

So they should protest FOX News? That will scare the Kremlin I guess.
Do we have one?

There used to be a Fox 25 News office across from the State House, but (a) it's not there anymore, and (b) WFXT's local news operation was unrelated to national Fox News.

Their Boston bureau used to be in a nondescript West Newton office building, but Googling leads me to believe it’s no longer there.
It’s ok

Swirly doesn’t make it into the city very often now that she’s in the burbs, but she used to be here all the time. And her all caps temper tantrums she regularly has here bring her back to those good ol’ days.
Bizarre

A Language lesson and something about Fox News because I'd like to see protesters in front of a Russian Government office?
Eh

I get what you were trying to say originally, but your beef did come off as kind of silly, probably due to how you expressed yourself.
Silly?

There's the Museum of Russian Icons in Clinton..... ;-)
Not exactly relevant...

... to the current Russian government.
It's a beautiful museum
By Boston_Bloke
Thu, 02/24/2022 - 10:49pm
But the protests would be directed towards the Russian goverment. Not the Russian church or Russian-Americans.
Not certain if you mean "should" instead of "would"?
By Michael Kerpan
Fri, 02/25/2022 - 10:13am
That museum is NOT an appropriate place to protest Putin's War, however.

The tone of a lot of the comments here is extremely flippant, and I don't get it either. Do people not realize the significance of this?

This situation is gonna go from grim and shocking to outright …I don’t know I have words.
Their goal is to overthrow Zelensky . The democratically elected president.
How we can just sit back and watch this military coup without putting boots on the ground I don’t know , but it’s really depressing
