Incredibly brave, agree. But I also couldn't understand why he did that at the time (coming from someone who isn't incredibly brave).
He had just miraculously survived an assassination attempt and was out of Russia. Why go back where Putin has complete control and could easily kill him (as just attempted), arrest him
or disappear him.
Maybe martyring himself (which was always the end result when he flew back) will work in the end, but the coward in me thinks he could have done so much more free and with a voice.
