I know he was released.
When did you first hear about him? He's was in a Russian prison for 3 years. Nothing at all was done by either administration to get him released. I guess if he identified as black birthing person, changed his pro nouns, claimed he was unaware that drunk & disorderly in public and assaulting a police officer were against the law, as it now appears it is not in the USA. The media would be all over it.
