62. It is extremely hard to measure the scale of protests in both Russia and China due to obvious unreliability of government statistics. However, the Chinese Communist Party’s leading think-tank – the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences – became increasingly alarmed of ‘mass incident’ in its hinterland in the 2000s. These reached over 87,500 a year in 2005. There was not in Putin’s first presidency comparable unrest in Russia.
