He should fit in well in the most backwards country in Europe.

If I was in charge, he would never be able to return, under any circumstances. Self exile is better than no exile at all...

Here it is:

"The fugitive’s fate remains uncertain. Neumann said that after illegally crossing into Belarus and requesting political asylum, he was detained for several days, but was later moved to another unspecified location. He added, “I believe I’m on some kind of a trial period.” By all appearances, Neumann is striving to pass Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko’s—and Putin’s—test."
