It’s a little surprising to me that he’s still posting on Instagram. I’d have thought someone who defied the Russian government wouldn’t be flouting it in the open. But I guess he probably knows better than most what they’re actually capable of, or maybe he knows that chasing down draft dodgers on the other side of the world isn’t a high priority right now.
