Power of the people

The anti Vietnam protests forced US to withdraw from Vietnam war.
Can anti-war movements from Moscow force Putin to step back?

It should be, because lifes of Russian's youth will pay Putin's imperial pride, and their  elders will carry the burden of the sanctions.
It will be sanctions because not even China doesn't want an armed bully in its backyard. Maybe China will support Russia to make trouble in Europe, to draw US in a conflict and to ease the pressure in the Pacific area, but not more.The ambiguous stance of China, allows it to negotiate with Russians and US a better deal.Russia can offer cheaper gas,US a step back from Pacific or maybe some trade deal.
Anyway the miracle of stoping Putin, and stopping World War 3 comes from russian people.
They avoided once the start a civil war when Soviet Union dismantled, now they can stop World War 3, by overthrowing Putin.

PS. An interesting dispatch from Crimea:

PS. It is interesting the generation gap between the protestors. The pro-Ukranian protestors generally they are young in their '20 while the pro-Russian are middle aged.
