Summary/Abstract: After the imposition of a new road tax aimed at truck drivers, protests broke out around Russia, culminating in the establishment of a protest camp outside Moscow. What seemingly began as a protest by workers against an injustice is slowly becoming ever more politicised. However, it remains unclear if any real change will take place as a result of the truck drivers’ protest.
