"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.

Yes that is good to hear! Hopefully they never find him

[-] iltoroargento@lemmy.sdf.org 30 points 11 months ago

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

[-] STUPIDVIPGUY@sopuli.xyz 13 points 11 months ago

let's just hope the russian govt is too busy to look for him in abandoned metro tunnels...

[-] whataboutshutup@discuss.online 4 points 11 months ago

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

[-] jayandp@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 months ago

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.

it's not a sign of a healthy society

[-] whataboutshutup@discuss.online 12 points 11 months ago

Who is next, Neil Gaiman or Stephen King? May they charge Joe Biden in absence too? What a joke.
