A riveting read. Waiting at the airport for delayed departure, with your wife and daughter, while they are starting to search for you...
To me as a Russian (though I read the English translation) the part where he really never talked about it with mom rings true sadly. Watching TV is a good indicator too.
Also, made me feel a bit better about not thinking a war would begin, contrary to US intelligence, if even this guy (who saw Putin in person many times apparently?) did not see it coming.
I worry about this guy and his family by the way. I almost wish he didn't go public and draw attention for his family's sake. But I applaud the move.
But on your final point, I imagine being public gives him more security, as security through obscurity when dealing with state actors isn't sustainable in the long run.

Totally.
