Are you sure? From what I know he's a close ally/supporter/henchman of Putin.
If they really hate him he will be thrown into jail like Mikhail Khodorkovsky or in asylum like Boris Berezovsky, Mikhail Gutseriyev & Vladimir Gusinsky instead of being the governor of Chukotka. Anyway I doubt the police wanna get on his bad side if all it take is for him to get his aide's aide's secretary to make a phone call to seriously fuck up their career or even thrown into prison.
Not saying I'm an expert but I'm very worried for our fans as obviously we seem to be on a disadvantage here, in fact everything is against us.
Anyway really hope each and everyone of you guys come back safely with a big grin on your faces.
