"Fortunately for Glukhovsky, he is not actually in Russia, and was sentenced in absentia. His current whereabouts are unknown."

Literally the last sentence lol thankfully, he's not in Russia.

Agreed. He shouldn't have to hide, either, but that's not where we are, apparently.

He only needs to never come back, and for him it's easy. It's not yet that stage when they smuggle people back, rn they just clean up cultural landscape from 'traitors' to make it 100% sterile. Music scene is already like that.

What a relief. He must've dipped as soon as he saw where things were headed in Russia. I wonder where he got asylum? But at the same time I hope I never find out, for his sake.
