Article Title: Russia Is Cracking Down on Minority Languages – but a Resistance Movement Is Growing
Article Summary
The article talks about one thing: how ethnic minorities are being persecuted and troubled in Russia.

The author then explains how this has led to protests and how these protests have not been allowed. As a result, the public has turned online and is uniting online in their fight against the authorities. This is essentially what the passage is about.
