What was this guy doing in a shopping mall without his body guards? Don't these guys know how to keep their heads down? Any body that crosses Putin must know by now that no where is safe (except maybe the US as long as Trump is not president). Furthermore, they must break all contact with Russia; family, friends, financial accounts, etc. The break must be carefully planned and complete.
