On: Vkontakte Founder Flees Russia

Yeah, but I don't think his current visa was given out "of the goodness of their hearts"

Well, he didn't have a Russian visa when he started traveling. US did not cancel his passport before he left Hong Kong, and they did not cancel his passport after he'd arrive at supposedly Cuba, they cancelled his passport precisely after he landed in SVO transit zone, but before he could fly out of it.

Of course not. But there are numerous reasons other than that. Not the least of which would be simply to piss off the US.
