Personally, I think he should have accepted Putin's offer. He made his point. I can think of much worse fates than living amongst the Russian people. I have a young friend, I call him "Little Volodymyr." Russian people are very intelligent. Many have great souls. My friend explained a great many things to me. Pussy Riot for example. Volodymyr told me that they deserved to go to jail. Russian people will not tolerate anyone who defiles the sacred. Things that fly over here will never fly there.
