In another life I learned to believe nothing of what I hear and half of what I see. His name was on the passenger list. Him, a guy who really really needs to disappear. Could be true… Or could be him vanishing with a plausible excuse. Might be real and a lot of people would be happy with that on both sides of the Russia western divide. But I can’t say it would shock me if he turns up in Africa a year or two from now, or living in Dubai. Interesting times we’re living in.
Forget about Africa or Dubai. Most likely scenario is that he ends up running a pizza joint in Brooklyn, NY under an Albanian name.
