I remember in college, back somewhere 2009-2013, I worked with a Russian student. We had a lot of foreign students, so it was common for people to explain why they were at the school, their backgrounds, etc. I encountered some fascinating stories in my time there, especially by a Croatian, but none were as fascinating as this Russian. His father apparently was on the run because he spoke out against Putin back in Russia. His son didn't even know where he was, or at least that's what he told me. I used to think it was just fascinating, but in retrospect I wonder how many Russians live in that kind of fear. I mean, the son was talking about Putin in such fear, and our school was in Missouri of all places, which is over 8,000 KM away.
