    Really?

    Indeed. He’s the director of a Russian foundation, teaches at a Russian university, and is being legally bullied by Russia, as you can see from my three-sentence summary. I’m pretty sure you can’t do all that from Portugal or something.

    I think he very much should have thought of himself as one. His mistake.

    He should’ve thought of himself as not currently able to travel to Russia?

    Ok, lol.
