"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 30 points 1 year ago

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

[-] STUPIDVIPGUY@sopuli.xyz 13 points 1 year ago

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

[-] whataboutshutup@discuss.online 4 points 1 year 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

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.

[-] whataboutshutup@discuss.online 12 points 1 year ago

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