".....“The last 10 years I do a lot of things to protect the human rights and other people. But in this moment, I understood that my mission to help other people created a very high risk to my family,” Osechkin told CNN from France, where he’s lived since 2015 after he fled Russia and claimed asylum. He now has full-time police protection.
He’s become the champion of a growing number of high-level Russian officials defecting to the West, emboldened and disgruntled by the Kremlin’s war in Ukraine. He says ex-generals and intelligence agents are among their number...."

Do you believe this CNN article?
Nope. I haven’t believed anything CNN has said, why start now?
I do think they would rather defect than be Putincided.
I recall lines of cars leaving after putin’s first big conscription
If the article has truth, it’s purpose is to hinder those leaving. Some things should remain secret. Loose lips sink ships. The assumption is that CNN is always traitorous and agenda-driven.
Its a video of a doctor and an ex FSB agent. Seems legit.
Putin’s Russia has a lot of “high-level” people that get thrown out of windows to their death
who wants to stick around for that? no wonder they’re fleeing
“I recall lines of cars leaving after putin’s first big conscription”
I’m joking, but can you imagine the massive jam at the Canadian border if they even hint at US conscription?
I hope we don’t find out.
I remember Vietnam. Lots of young men moved up north.
I agree with you, I hope we don’t find out what would happen now...
When are you joining the fight?
We fight everyday on Free Republic exposing the neo isolationist Putinista war criminals that aid and abet the Russian war crimes in Ukraine
Not like we saw in Russia.
The modern American draft ran from about 1940-1973, during the 1960s/70s after an intense and sustained anti-war/anti-draft movement with promotion from media, music, Hollywood and popular culture over many years about 30,000 young males went to Canada and Sweden according to a 1978 book by former members of President Gerald Ford’s Clemency Board, more liberal estimates claim 60 to 100 thousand over those many years.
Russia instantly went nuts and with mass numbers in a smaller population when they started conscripting only months ago.
Silly talk from a silly Neocon.
When are you going to the front, bert?
The Zelenskyy needs you!
And how much of Ukraine have you "denazified?"

I've been quite busy deNazifing you Neocons, right here on FR
Regards
He’s in France even though there are serious bad guys trying to kill him. This is CNN. Something has to be fake about it.
