In February 2022, Russian forces crossed the Ukrainian border and began invading Ukraine in what was supposed to be a large-scale military exercise. Many Russians have a great nationalist nationalism, and President Vladimir Putin's approval ratings rose with the annexation of Crimea in 2014 .

Anti-government protests over the hijab, a cloth used to cover women's hair, resulting from this incident have been going on for more than two months. In addition, the movement has ventured outside of Iran and took place at the WorldCup soccer tournament in Qatar . The Iranian athletes did not sing the national anthem, and showed solidarity with the demonstration. Since Iranian state television did not broadcast the scene, it appears that the Iranian government intends to suppress the anti-government movement. The wearing of a cloth to cover...
