Racist US backed stooge who got dooped into ending up in a Russian prison lol. IIRC he was advised to return to Russia to be sone kinda martyr by his handlers (he had no real mass appeal in Russia and he was being propped up as the 2nd runner up in power lol)

yeah i never understood why he went back. he got out, he could've just shut up and lived in the west into old age.

How is he U.S backed, and how does he have a handler (really, no mass appeal)

Can you explain (I'm out of the loop)?
