This report eminates through the French news agency AFP (And not RFE whom he works for ?) seems to indicate after he traveled to the Ukraine and covered the Kiev “demonstration” he was not allowed to return back to Russia specifically Moscow where he has been living.

Radio Free Europe is funded by the US government no?

My initial take is that it was an opportunity to disrupt Western propaganda for a while in the run up to the Sochi Games. The Russians are always playing a deeper game, so who knows what else is going on.

Something for Lavrov & Kerry to chat about at their next meeting perhaps.

Radio Free Europe is funded by the US government no?

The Radio Free broadcasts ceased to be pro-American sometime certainly before President GW Bush finished his double-term.

My suspicion is that the Ruskies were worried that he would stoke the flames of faggotry (like make pink journalistas in the media) or promote the cause of "cultural diversity" towards the jihadists living in Russia.
