I wouldn鈥檛 be going to Russia any time soon, if I were him
or any other country that is friendly with russia and might be willing to extradite him to russia.
Imagine being so pathetic that you sue someone criticizing you in another country over which you have no jurisdiction.
In which case he could hardly hope for better publicity. What are the Russians thinking to go ahead and do this?
If they follow the US example they鈥檒l kidnap him and say it鈥檚 justified.
